Best way to put car on jacks
I need to put the car on jack stands and cant find the best way to do it. The search function sucks (at least how I am using it)...
I have ZL1 addons jacking pads for the stands but where should I put the jack Pics would be awesome! Thanks, Pete |

I wouldn’t use the jack pads for stands. They are rounded and I imagine slipping would be pretty easy. I use the jack pads only for jacking up the car. To lift the rear only I jack the car up from the diff.

pretty hard to do (yeah, I tried on purpose), but I started turning my jack stands 90 degrees and the jackpad fits perfectly.

I've watched the video from LethalGarage but I'd love a nice clear picture of what to do. I wish GM would tell us. On a side note, where exactly do you guys jack up on the rear diff? The warning about the eLSD harness makes me think twice about it. |

My concern using the QuickJack via the aft and fwd/aft point is the potential for having too much unsupported weight in front. While I have no doubt that it’s safe, others have complained about wrinkles developing due to the amount of weight hanging off the front. I’d buy the QuickJack if I could figure out which model uses the most fwd and aft points.

I have not use the quick Jack but from the looks I don't think it would be stable in the front from what I see in the pictures. The front looks like it hangs way over the balance of the vehicle. I have not use the jack pads either so do not know if jack stands are safe or not to use with the pads. It would be nice to have a Q&A on this to see how many yes or no there is.
