Need some help

I have a 2021 SPWB. I need to rotate the tires (Haven't done it since I bought the car). Went to Les Schwab but they said it sits to low (H&R lowering springs installed). so my question is, can I use my floor jack and raise it, put blocks of wood under the pinch weld, and rotate the tires myself? It currently also has ZL1 Addons side skirts



Thanks for your help

Just buy a spare tire/wheel. Jack up 1 corner at a time (from your pic above, the yellow lift spots not the pinch welds), then work your way around till all 4 are done.

No blocks or extra jacks needed. Just wheel chocks & 1 spare tire.

Easy peasy.

Not rocket science. In a driveway the easiest method is just use 2 jacks and move them around as you rotate…….
Also chock the wheels that are on the ground of course.

your not going under it so no need for jackstands.

I bought a second 3-ton low profile jack today from Home Depot. When it arrives tomorrow I will do exactly what you suggested.

For the rear, you could lift up the whole rear if you lift just behind (rearward of the pumpkin) on the metal crossover piece. If you do that first, you might be able to see the front lifting points easier. You can use the pinch welds. I lift the front on the "frame" where the hoist lift points are in the pic above and put the jack stand on the pinch weld.

Hi Bill, I'm lowered on H&R springs also and I have some ZL1 Add-ons Lift Pads installed on the pinch welds for raising the car with a jack.

Those side skirts you have should have a cut out or notch on them for the Lift Pads.
You can also get a universal jack pad to put on the pinch welds temporarily for raising the car with a jack.

Bill, I rotate tires with one scissors jack and my spare. I remove first, put on spare, work my way around with the rest, end with removing spare and replacing with 4th tire

Your ZL1 Side skirts are blocking your front pinch points. Slide the jack way under the front lift points as shown where the yellow arms go. There is an arrow stamped into the frame rail showing the jack point. For the rear use the black hockey puck they have back there. Put a small piece of wood in the cup of the jack when lifting the back to protect your side skirts. I just rotate the wheels fore and aft.

I'm just wondering. If a tire place can't rotate your tires what are you going to do when its time to replace the tires?
