leave the jacks on?
Is it ok to leave the jack stands on the front crossmember only over 2-3 days?

i would think it would just be fine if you put the jackstands in the right area.

You might want to place a 2x4 between the Cm and the Jackstand. Are you using one or two Jackstands?

I left my car on jack stands for six months. I didnt have the jacks under the cross member though. Hmm I wonder how long Jim has had his car jacked up?
