Sitting rear of car on jack stands?

[jims56]

I have the front end on car ramps, and i need to sit the rear on stands so i can replace the shock plates. was looking at putting stands under the frame where the front leaf spring hanger is. Should i not worry the frame will crush in from the weight sitting on the stands? Am i paranode?

It will be just fine with jackstands under the frame. Just be carefull of the balance with the jackstands at the front front spring hanger location.

One thing I've always done when I put a car on jack stands........before I get under it, I wiggle it aggressively. I'd rather have it fall off the stands without me under it. If it passes the wiggle test, I feel better about being under it.

I always do that too!
