There has to be some magic procedure to keep the wheels off the ground. I dont think the air suspension likes that particular positioning

Support the vehicle under the lower control arms/links. Keeps the suspension happy and avoids tire flat spots.

Its to avoid tire damage from when a vehicle is stored for mths. Particularly if stored in the cold.

Precisely, alternatively, people overinflate the tires instead, but that doesn't always work especially for extended periods of time. Can't beat physics...

Exactly. I leave my S560 and my GLE400 in my Florida garage for the summer months while I live in RI. I over inflate the tires to lessen the flat spot effect. I still can feel a little thump thump when I first drive the car, but it usually goes away in a day or too. Hell, I even do it on my golf cart which I keep in my Florida house as well.

So you lift the car until tyres have no floor contact? Someone here though suspension would be happier if stored at about the normal height. No idea if it really makes a difference (better or worse).
