They will get crushed. I've had my car in the 1/2 dozen times now and the left rear looks the worst. Its the first one to get a jack stand under it and takes the brunt of the abuse. All of them are starting to look worse for wear though. Don't have a good solution for you on this.

EDIT: Sorry this is using my traditional style V type jackstands. Flat topped stands will probably do a lot better. The ESCO's mentioned above are truly top shelf stands and if you don't mind the investment they are worth the cost.
