not unless you plan on leaving it there 3 years
you don’t get “dead spots” in the tires usually these days, I would inflate them 5-6 psi over where you’d typically drive, I’d clean it up nice, put fill up gas tank & put stabil in it, remove negative terminal on battery & remove it out in warm place (or put on tender), I’d also change oil before putting away if it’s been a while
only reason to put on jackstands if you’re doing work to it, also I mean before I’d be concerned bout putting “wear” on shocks from simply sitting around I’d probably be more apt to
just swap em out for something better WELL before that’d be a concern
It’s a machine, a car, one meant to take serious abuse on a race track & one that is very reliable- it just happens to move, look, & talk sexy - but believe me- it’s plenty robust lol

No need to put the car up on jack stands. Not good on the suspension to let the wheels just hang for an extended period of time. Just put a few extra PSI in the tires, put some carpet squares under them if you want, and le tthe car stay in place until you are ready to drive it again.

Carpet squares or foam blocks as suggested in a recent thread.
