Yes, you will stress the chassis differently and any faults you will cause will most likely be to an existing windshield crack that will grow due to a new stress angle.
No other problems will happen to the car from you hanging the wheels, the suspension will be better hung than compressed.

Now if the Pantera hangs in the air for several months, with no weight on the wheels, will I hurt it? Will chassis flex? Will shocks dislike being stretched all the time? Springs? Windows crack? Any experience? When I have the Pantera up on my current scissor lift on the four points, doors need a little more effort to close...
