Putting SS away for the winter

It doesnt hurt to let the suspension hang.

 

I would be careful about filling the tires to max pressure, It isnt good for the steel belts in the tires to be expanded for the length of winters.

 

I've read that corrosion can occur on metal shafts extended from suspension parts that are exposed. When the suspension finally moves it breaks the seal causing a leak. This is probably over reaction and in a corrosive local such as coastal but I don't know.

This is the first I've heard of problems involving airing up to max tire pressure for storage. I can't find anything substantiating this online, please provide some links.
