James, I use an axle stand with either a thick piece of rubber ( cut up old rubber mats) and or a piece of plywood, you can find some where either on the chassis or under the suspension that is suitable. Cracking the epoxy is the thing to avoid! If its damaged then I surest that you peel it back to sound material, clean up and re-paint. Otherwise the weather gets underneath and causes rot. I have recently done all that, and Wax sprayed under Delores.

Thanks James Hartshorn.
