Winter storage?

[DMS201]

Hello All

Just wanted to get some input into whether or not I should jack up the car during the winter storage. Car is under cover and cleaned inside a clean insulated garage with epoxy painted cement floor. I read that if you are going to store the car longer than normal (don't know what that means) you should lift it to get tires off ground and relax suspension and braking system. This is my first winter with the car and want to do it the right way. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sorry all...... Just looked down in the posts and saw that a member asked the same question..... Read that post... Have stands and most likely will not drive the car, so I will use the stands......

Agree, way overkill. Maybe you should try a hammock...

Jackstands are a good idea, but my Mustang sat for over a year in the garage and never fat spotted the tires. Plus I am not a fan of leaving a car up in the air for that long

Not necessary.
