08 Base Vert. Bilstein shocks, pfadt sway bars and end links. No mag ride. ( not sure when mag ride came out ). Will it be OK to store on Quick Jack with suspension hanging for winter ?

Interesting you ask this now, the Motorweek TV show just talked about it last week and gave same recommendation, DON'T let suspension droop / hang with car on jack stands, etc.
If interested, here's a pretty good post with some good storage info, read the original "quoted" part too:

I'm going to disagree with keeping the car off the ground. I would think the unnatural position is actually when the car is on the ground with springs and sway bars being compressed or twisted in its unnatural position. When you lift it off the ground it is more in its natural state. Mine stays up it the air for much of the winter.

HUH???? Its in its natural state while it is suspended in air? These or any car for that matter don't float, they sit on the ground. That is their natural state. Geeze folks, get a life. Its a stinking car, not a space ship. If you must put if up for the winter, cover it up, put a battery tender on it, and go watch tv.
Has everyone lost their minds...
What difference does it make if a car is driven everyday (or not) as far as the cars weight on the suspension.
