OK if I understand and sorry for the novice question, you place the jack under the axle is this what you mean by tube? Also you do one side at a time that is jack up one end place car stand then the other end? thanks!

Put the jack under the center area (pumpkin) raise the whole back of the car... Place the stands under the round "tube" portion of the axle as close to the springs as you can get them....

Thanks for the explanation

So how long is to long for tires to set without moving and flat spots become a concern? Do tire manufactures have any recommendations ?

I remember back in the late 70s early 80s my daily driver had radials and after maybe a week there were some flat spots when parked, but they rolled out after a couple miles of driving.  I remember the sales people advising that would happen.

My daily driver now stays parked for extended periods and no flat spots are present on my Michelins. I have never found flat spots to be a problem on today's tires. 

Back in the day, I had a new '70 challenger with the "new technology" fiberglass belted tires.  They were always flat spotted after a couple days being parked, but rolled out after a couple of miles.

I park my '70 Challenger with BF Goodrich Radial TAs all winter for several years now and never had a flat spot problem. I'm not a fan of the TAs, but they haven't flat spotted.
