    i've never left my car up on stands before for more than an hour or two, due to the concern of too much weight concentrated on a small spot on the front frame rails. because of the lack of spare wheels at the moment i have to leave it up on stands for the night. i have them just behind the torque boxes on the front frame rails. is this something i should be worried about?:huh:
