im not sure
Yeah, you can't really put 'em on stands. Well, if the car were designed for it, you might be able to. I don't think most cares are designed for that?
I have a couple of cars that have air jacks - hook up compressed air and it pushes down feet that lift the car. While those cars weren't really designed for that, they'd probably hold up that way just fine.
I thought maybe that would save the suspension and tires without the weight of the car on them
It's a good theory, but no... No, you'd be supporting the weight of the car on two points even smaller than the contact patch at the tire level.
Some of my stuff is on the pads that I mentioned. That was from when I had a tiny collection. These days, every months go push the cars forward and backwards 5' - so that you're pushing it forward 5' and then backwards 10' (or 5' if you start by pushing backwards), So, it's 10' total that the car might be pushed.
'Snot hard and doesn't even require starting the car.
