axle-stands
There exists small cheap collapsible axle-stands, mostly rated 2tons (enough), in europe you'll find them in DIYstores and bigger gasstations. The feet are foldable like a small tripod and their height is adjustable.
Should you take them....Hmm. If you have the space, why not. I used them while reseating my leafsprings, changing polybushes and oilseals.
But if you don't have them you'll find a perfect alternative (a genuine jerrycan should be more than usefull to double as a axlestand).
Where to store ? as far as you can without forgetting you brought them along. Mine are tucked faraway, I can even imagine somebody will 'store' them under the car or in the inside of a steel bumper.
cheers,
