Vette(s): 2004 Commemorative Edition Coupe, Auto w/HUD. 13K miles in 2015. Sold 1982 Red Coupe
I am working on cleaning up my wheels, brakes, suspension, etc. and currently have the Vette sitting on 4 floor stands.




As shown above, the front suspension is supported, but at the rear, the frame is resting on the supports. So the trailing arms and rear wheels are hanging.

Is this OK?

Should I put the supports under the trailing arms?

That's exactly how I store all of mine every winter. No problems. No noticeable body flex, I can open doors with no trouble.  Mike

Geez Mike just how big is your building? It must be huge! It's would take up quite a bit for the 4 "sleeping beauties" let alone the 8 pair of shoes they wear...
