Question How do you use a pump jack on a C5/C6?

Not sure if this is in the right forum/spot but what is the best way to jack up a C5/C6 car from the front/sides?

Any links or pics showing a solid spot?

I need to get it high enough so I can screw a wide band O2 into the exhaust by the header collector.

I do have some home built wood ramps to get the car up about 3-4 inches.

Front and rear cross members are what I use.

Under the frame rail shipping slots are the easiest to get to locations. You might need a puck if your saddle is too big around to fit through the body panel cut-out around the slots. Kent-Moore makes a nifty tool that hooks into those spots but a hockey puck works too. Next best choice is the front and rear suspension cross members.

Jacking pucks are the ticket. You can make your own out of a hockey puck and an eye bolt if you're a cheapskate like me.
