the reason folks say to not put the car on jack stands for too long is that the shocks get extended by the springs when unloaded into a place that they don't want to spend an extended period of time. i don't think it is due to the concern that the car will sag or droop. the fact that it does is indicitative of the amount of flex in the frame. if frame distortion is apparent after a month on jack stands then it should be apparent after multiple shorter applications of force (corners). hence my previous statement that the efficacy of strut bars may be related to the age/use of the vehicle.
