Bumping this with a new question.
The ground has dried out. I have the van on stands and jack. Tires still touch the ground and squish a bit, tho some weight is off them. Van is still very wobbly.
Question: If I lift van on jackstands so that tires do not touch at all (remove van suspension from the equation) will it be more stable in heavy wind gusts?
Followup: I have a small fear of the van being blown off a jackstand if the wheels are off the ground. That's not going to happen, is it?
I have two of the stands in the link, and a bottle jack. All have small, round, flat tops. Van weighs 5500lbs, loaded. Expected winds are 40-50mph gusts.
Any advice is appreciated!
