You have the front jacks more inboard than the normal pressure that would be applied to the springs, which keeps the wheels lower as compared to the fenders. If you place the stands closer to the wheel, the springs will compress more.

You need to keep the weight on the suspension, DO NOT let it hang, bad, bad, bad. If you want ot off the tires, put the rear stands under the axle and the front stands under the control arms toward the wheels as stated above. Honestly, only a few months will not hurt the tires, any flat spots that develop will drive out after a few miles as we have radial tires, not bias-ply's.

Burnouts are a real good way to alleviate flatspots too.
