is it OK to leave Viper on Jackstands for a couple weeks?

[GotAViper]

Well im selling my BBS LM and GTS wheels to get CCW 505A wheels. It is very possible that both my wheels will sell at the same time.

Can I leave the car on jackstands for a few weeks until the new wheels come in?
or what would you suggest

Thanks.

car WAS A PITA to get up there though!

There won't be any problem leaving it on jackstands. You'll be fine!

If you are storing a car is it better to leave it on Jack stands for months if you are not going to drive it

well guess that answers that, thanks guys.


any hints as to where to put the jack stands so no tip over accidents happen.

I'm jealous that your getting the CCW 505's! I want them so freakin bad. I'm going to have to try to figure something out......

I also would like to know where is the best place for jack stands?

The frame. Nice spots in the front around the engine and rear. Just takes a bit of manouvering to get them there if your car is really low.

i had my car on jacks for 4 weeks waiting for the ccw's.....my only worry was a 5.5 earthquake......had to to drive the car on to homemade blocks before i could jack it up.....good luck

If you place the jack stands on the frame jack points the car will be solid as a rock.

Just keep the peanut butter and jelly away from the car! (Sorry, couldn't help it)

Better on stands without the weight of the tires and wheels though if it has to stay up on stands.

If you look on the frame rails there are holes drilled on all four corners of the ladder - I find those are excellent, and consistant, spots for putting jackstands.

Peice of advice, get yourself some nice soft peices of discarded carpet (any carpet/home improvement store will have bags full for free) and up them carpet side up on top of the jackstands - this will prevent scratching and allow for a broader face for the frame to sit on (as opposed to a sharp corner of the stands.)

Had mine on jack stands for 4-5 months! No problem...
