Winter storage

Hi guys just wondering do you put your cars on jack stands for the winter to take the
pressure off the suspension and tires or just add some extra air to the tires and leave
them on the garage floor.
Thanks
Mike

Fresh oil, overfill tires, leave on ground and battery tender.

That’s it for me.

having your suspsension unsprung over the whole winter is not desireable. The car is better sitting on its tires.

No problem!

I figured that out when I was toying with storing mine on my two post lift. Research showed it not to be an ideal plan, unless you make decks and lift at the wheels.
