When I jack the backend of the car up to put on the stands I use the differential to lift the car up, and then put the stands on the hinge points where the rear suspension attaches at the end of the frame rails. When I release the floor jack, the rear section of the car settles down a couple of inches. I noticed it when the space between the the hard top and the rear deck was wider than usual. I know that most cars have some flex built in, but is this unusual, or do I need to set the jack stands in a different place?

Thanks for any insight on this situation.
