You want the tires sitting on the ground/lift/stands/....something so the suspention is loaded and the car is sitting "naturaly". If you lift the car up off the tires, you rish putting twist in the body and once the subframes are welded you are in trouble. The car will never be straigt again (unless you cut the welds and start over)!
