Winter Storage with Poly Bushings

Question for the list

Now that I have replaced all suspension bushings on my solid axle 4A with poly this summer, is there any reason why the suspension should be in the "loaded" position for storage?

Will my new SPAX shocks or other components be compromised if I just put the car up on Jack stands (to protect the tires) and leave the suspension unloaded?

Cheers

If the tire are radial. No need to worry about them.
 
Don is correct. I just take it a step further.

I add extra air to mine for the several months of storage in the winter. If it's nice, I bleed them down, go for as long a ride as I can and pump them up again when I get back.

Even with my old Michelin's, I never got a flat spot or had any issues.
