Anything wrong with this?

You know how sometimes your working on the right side of your truck and you have it jacked up on the frame, is there anything wrong with leaving it sit like that for a day or two??? Just one side of the frame supported and the other side not???

I dont want to bend the frame leaving it like that if its a problem. Basically the right side rear is on the jackstand and the other side is standard height.. Any problems???

Nah no problems. We had ours like that for a few weeks. No difference in the frame.

IT was extreme because i jacked the side of the frame up near the rear. It lifted the WHOLE rear and all the support was on the side of the frame, but the other side tire was dangling in the air... I actually went back out there and jacked up the other side because i couldnt sleep thinking about it. ahahah..

IM doing the cnotch on it and i figured it couldnt hurt while welding to make sure everything stays as level as i can...

You want to make sure you have your frame well supported and dont have any pressure or in a bind when you do this or your frame will never be the same.

I don't think this is such a good idea when welding/cutting the frame to have any type of "pressure" points" on one side and not the other. But that's just me.
