Corvette C7 Jacking Proper Safety Stand Placement Locations 

This is what all videos about jacking up a car should be like. Specificity is important and missing from most of these.

Great video and very informative! I'm new to the corvette family and it's exactly what I need to safely lift up my vet! Thank you so much!!!

Thx bro for the details! Gonna put on a stage 2.5 zr1 aero kit and an x-pipe… this is exactly what I needed to know 👍🏽

I'd feel better with two jacks, one in front and one in the back. Thanks for the guidance.

Dude....Excellent video!! I appreciate you taking the time to show us the view from underneath!! Seems that most things about DIY with our Corvettes make us nervous. Likely because it will be painful both emotionally and financially!! 🤣 Truly appreciate you taking the time...i feel more confident now!!

Happy new year Glen/n with one or two N’s! 🎉 🍾 Watch those ratcheting stands! I don’t trust them, I’ve had one fail and one crack down it- I just don’t trust them now, they weren’t cheapies either- much prefer the tube and pins. If you jack one end up you are normally ok if you chock the wheels. Disappointed the wife still hasn’t let you get a lift for Christmas- I bought two 😇

Great explanation , nothing would be more disappointing to damage something under the car.

I appreciate this video because I need to get my wheels redone and will have the car on jack stands for a few days

Wow, great walkthrough here! I wish there was one of these for my C5

thanks great video

Great video with extremely important information. Thanks, you got a subscriber!

Great explanation Glen. It freaks me out how close you have to put the jack stands to one another though.

Fantastic and thorough video.

Great video! Thanks so much for helping us noobs out!

Much needed instruction! Good video

Sweet! Thank you for your time!👍😎

I know this is slightly unrelated to this video, but if you're just removing a wheel, then you can just use a basic screw jack from your Nissan altima or whatever and you don't need the puck. You're only very slightly lifting and there is basically no angle created between the jack and frame. The pucks are only for when you're really jacking high for stands. I did use this video for my c7 z06 that I've stored for years because it was recommended to not be stored for many years on the wheels/tires. I made my own pucks, though. They're very simple.

Great video. Thanks, sir.

great video! thanks

Excellent video

Great video man !!!

Perfect thank you

Good video. Thanks man.

That's one purrrty undercarriage! I almost made myself look dumb and asked if that was a 4L80E, because I didn't recognize that trans pan, LOL. I keep forgetting we've got 6 & 8 speeds out there now. Glad I caught myself, LOL! My money is on the 8-speed in that one. You should film a video of how that thing shifts when the weather gets better - I've never ridden in anything with more than 6 gears. I'm curious how quickly it goes through them at light throttle, and when you jump on it. Man, that thing is at the same ride height as my buddy's crazy 900 RWHP '11 Camaro - he's got adjustable shocks in there, and has them as low as he could go without tearing the front end off pulling into a Dunkin Donuts every morning, lol. I can't even get my jack under the thing! Haven't tried it on the lift ... but cars that nice I tend to steer clear of working on. Makes me too nervous! I have worked on it in the past, long before the lift and new shop addition was built. Put on headers (fun in the driveway), and beefier rear control arms. That was also long before he put the cost of a new car into that thing to make it the fire-breathing monster it is today. I recall running into a GM-induced problem of the driver's side rear bolt that wouldn't come out, because it hit the fuel tank, or frame - we had to lower the cradle out in the driveway with a jack and stands just to remove one stupid bolt! Thanks, GM! Anyway, hope you and the family had a great New Year's, and have an even better 2021, Glen!

Nicely displayed and explained. I hope you and your family have a blessed year.

Sup Glen. Hope you had a great holiday..The video you produced was very detailed. I was wondering if you ever checked out the Rennstand by Safe Jack? It functions as a jackstand near edges of the car so you dont need to get under the car. Check it out. Thanks.

Best video I've seen , this guy rocks knows his stuff , takes his time and explains what you NEED TO KNOW , I have a 17 Gran Sport taking off my wheels for powder coating I feel confident now after watching this video we can safely handle the job, thank you OZZ!!

I’ve considered using these on my C7 - www.jackpointjackstands.com they allow you to use the puck location as the stand location too. Be careful with the subframe / cradle that’s hallow aluminum so you need a block of wood or something to distribute the load. I use two jacks, one on each side (passenger and driver side) this way the car comes up level. Don’t forget to chock the opposite side tire so car doesn’t move. The parking brake and transmission will only lock the rear wheels thus if the weight is on front the car it can roll if not blocked. Stay safe!

Good one, I had a tough time getting the grandsport on to the styrofoam pads for the winter on the garage wall side because of no room for the jack but we got it done. And yes, gotta be real careful of the side skirts, there is no forgiveness there if you don't have a low profile jack. What company did you get the splitter from? I'm looking for one but I'm up in Canada so a lot of price difference due to the dollar exchange, shipping, and border crap going on now.

Cool

The location to put jack stands in the rear was not really clear. The area you suggested or rather pointed to was slightly curved and had a bolt

Have you seen the "car jack" i use..hahaha.

*Internet car snob has entered the chat* How dare you lift that car with anything other than lambskin gloves and lamb skin wrapped equipment? You don't DESERVE that car!

Excellent video....thanks

Great tutorial! i welded up four two post stands for my grand sport. i put the car contact piece on the jack first then jack it up on the pad. once to the height i want i put the two vertical legs on the top piece and pin it....works great and is the safest way i know of. the down side i use two floor jacks to make it really safe, so there is that extra cost.

Just bought a C7(and my first corvette), and this helps tremendously! Very informative and detailed! Now I need pucks lol.

You are very thorough and safe! Coming from an engineer, you would make a great teacher..

Right on time with this video! Excellent Excellent. just got my 1st Corvette 2 weeks ago and going to do paint correction, side skirts install and have been wanting to put on jack stands. Again excellent video. Thanks

Why can't you put a jack stand under each puck?

Great--thanks

4:04 your mono-spring is pink? I always had suspicions. I built cribbing to go under the tires. I use the pucks to lift and cribbing for support. I hate lifting the thing but it is better than the C4. Slit pucks on pinch welds on a twisty frame is even harder.

Good stuff!!

Awesome video! Thanks!

Great video

Great video

Very clear explanation and video. Thanks.
