Re: [Chrysler300] Car Lifts

[Marshall Larson <yelof@xxxx>]

The problem with storing a car with the wheels hanging in the suspension
is that if there are travel limiters (rubber snubbers) used they will at
a minimum be squashed flat and at the worst be ruptured into pieces. If
you don't want to replace the snubbers then keep all spring weight from
them. Jack stands under a solid axle keeps suspension fully loaded. 
Stands under independent suspension partially unloads it. Ideal storage
in my mind.
