Default Jack stands - how long?
I'm about to take my wheels off the car for a refreshing.
I'll put car on jack stands all around.
How long can a car stay like that?

Make sure the jack stands are on solid flat surface, not blacktop where they can sink into it.

Mine has spent much of the past two years on jackstands. I would say you can leave the car up on them indefinitely if you wanted.

:iagree:

Mine is in the air on a regular basis. I had my '89 on stands for 3.5 months.

Yes, once you drive it and the suspension settles back down (drive around the block).
