Storing and leaving jacked up in the air

[19gtaz]

I am leaving my car for 5 months. I generally jack up my older cars under the suspension so that the tires are off the ground. I have the Steeda jacking rails that I planned on using but then I got to thinking I would rather have it up on the suspension points so that the suspension isn't hanging all summer. I see a good spot to do the rear but the front lower control arms don't look possible to use. I have decided to jack the rear up on the lower control arms under the coil springs and use the jacking rails on the front. Am I missing a good spot on the front that would put the weight on the suspension?

There is absolutely no reason to jack your car up, your tires will be fine.

You're wasting your time completely. Cars routinely sit for months on lots waiting to be sold. Outside. Ever see any issues from that?

I have personally had issues with cars that sat for months. Since I have experienced the issue, I will continue to jack them up when I leave. Thank you for your opinion.

Take your tires off and put it on stands using the rails. Suspension unloaded.
