97-09 C5 & C6 Corvette, Lifting Plate Set (4)
Part Number: C5C6-LP4
Why do I need liftpads?
The C5 and C6 came from the factory without jacking points identified as to where it is safe to lift the car.
According to the shop manual, the proper points to lift the car with a four point hoist are defined by the Chain Down Holes on the frame rails of the car (approximately the same locations as the jacking points on the C-4).
The plastic body of the C-5 wraps down the side of the C-5 and rolls under the car, covering the frame rails, with small cut outs in the plastic rocker panels for access to the Chain Down points referred to above.
The problem is, a floor jack (or four point lift or jack stands) will have lifting pads larger than the cutouts that uncover the frame rail upon which the lifting pad will make contact.
This results in the lifting pad resting on part of the body plastic (not the steel frame) and crushes the plastic between the frame and lifting pad of the jack, hoist or jack stand.
Liftpad Features:
Made of high density polypropylene.
The Lift Pad will provide you with years of damage free lifting without the need for replacement.
Piece of mind to even the most conscientious Corvette owner. The C5 Lift Pad is lighter and easier to store than other designs. They also have a broader lifting base making the car more stable on the lift, jack or hoist. Their Snap-in design makes them "user friendly".
Comes as a complete set of (4) Lift Pads.
*Note: It is not recommended to leave the lifting plates in while driving. Large speed bumps or road debris may cause damage.
