Jack Stands

[T-n-T]

Hey guys, I'm about to put the Ty up for the winter (and as long as I've got it up I'm going to re-finish the rims) but have a simple question, where do I place the jack stands (underneath) so as not to damage the frame and other stuff???

Also, are there any other considerations I should keep in mind while doing this?

You should place your jack stand so the truck frame is resting on them. If you store a car/truck over a longer period of time you DON"T want any pressure on the suspension or tires. When i lift my truck at work, i place the lift arms under the frame as close as i can to leaf springs front bracket. And in the front where the frame make a bend for the front tire clearence. You can place your jack stands on these points if you like or under the frame where you think it's ok, as long as they are NOT placed under axles or suspension you be ok
