There are 6 recommended points for jacking up the Stingray according to the owner's manual. There are 2 under each side, located roughly near each end of the rocker panels. You can also use the center of the cast aluminum front and rear suspension cradles. Do NOT use the composite springs! Also, for the side locations, you'll definitely want to look under the car before setting the jack. If you get it in the wrong spot and try to lift the car, you can easily crack the rocker panels. Several companies also make jack "pucks" that lock into the jack holes in the frame, and create a spacer to protect the rockers (just like the C5 and C6 Corvette generations).
