how long is ok?
how long is it ok to keep my 'stang up on jack stands? ive been redoing the brakes and suspension here for about a month or two now. I'm kind of scared that it might start to get damaged. I can't lower the car tho because i dont have 5 lug rims yet!

As long as it is supported properly you can leave it on jack stands until they rust away and it falls off.

It would be fine either way. Cars sit 'on their suspension' (i.e. parked) for months at a time every winter in the colder climates and do just fine.
