WHERE DO YOU PUT YOUR JACKSTANDS?

[swl987]

I think I'm going to put my car on jackstands for winter storage this year. Where do you think is the best place to set them under the car for 3 or 4 months? Also, do you thinks it is better to start your car and warm it up every week or two, or just keep the battery charged and wait till spring? I have been starting through the winter but maybe with the thick oil not getting to engine parts fast enough I might be doing damage. This is my first year with a supercharger.Is there anything special I need to do?sorry about all the questions.

Under the car, LOL!!!! I put mine on the rear end housing and put the front on ramps.

Under my subframe connectors or IRS subframe and tubular K-member depending on how I need it up in the air...

Yea i kinda wanna know now too.. see i start my car every two weeks in the winter and let her run for 15minutes or so.. But its a good question to weather or not you should start it every once in a while or just let it sit... so...

I heard something about how the 4.6 engine will hold the old weird after a certain extended amount of time, especially in colder weather. I personally would start the car every other week to help with lubrication and overall maintenance. Now if you don't ever start it up and it sits for lets some most of winter, I would probably change the oil before starting it up for the first time. Then again...if you never started it the worst that would come from it is a dead battery, I heard people actually disconnect the battery as well.

i dont know if i would put em on your subframes and let the wheels hang all winter.. i would put em under the axle housing and the a arms (if you have the stock ones) seems to me like you might get some funky buisness goin on with your bushings and shocks being hung like that for so long...
