 Side loads on the cylinder shafts will bend shafts and cause premature seal wear. Make sure the car lifts straight up. Some feet on the ends of the shafts will help when on soft surfaces (dirt, asphalt, &c) plus add a little bit of stability. Keep in mind that retracting force is less than extending force. Shouldn't be a big deal for this project.
