Default jack stands

I am thinking about putting the car up on jack stands for the winther. This way i could store the wheelsa better place and the tires won't go flat.

The questions is though where is the best place to put the stands?

I do mine on the axle tubes in the rear and on the front control arms, right where they meet the k member for the front. My car sat like that for 18 months.

Under the frame so you relax the springs.Use the frame rails just behind the front tires and the same rails just ahead of the rears.

I have one of these and it works just as advertised.
Do a search for long term storage procedures.

The battery tender is a must. Works great and worth the money. I also add fuel stablizer for winter storage. I usually don't jack the car, but I will this year. I noticed this effect this year when I took the car for the first ride of the year. It was really wobbley. Eventually, it evens out.
