It is generally advised to not store a car with the suspension at full droop 
*for long periods of time* (I'd assume many months/years). Bushings & 
springs will take a set in the drooped position. A car on jack stands under 
the suspension is OK - that will take the weight off the tires but not leave 
the suspension hanging.
