Preventing flat spots during storage

Preventing flat spots during storage
I've got a Roush Stage 1 with BFG's and the tires have flat spots after a week. Concerned about it sitting all winter. Don't want to spend $350 on tirecradles, but I am thinking that jacking the car up and having the suspension unsprung isn't good either. Suggestions?

The flat spots are not permanent and will go away after driving as the tires warm up. Jacking the car won't hurt anything but I really think it's a waste. Pumping the tires up to about 40 PSI will help some. Both my GT and the g/f's Pony are going into storage for 4-5 months (how I hate that...) and other than a moisture barrier and a few extra PSI, we're not worried about the tires.

How long you gonna store it for? Short term sitting I wouldnt worry, but long term why not jack it up. It wont hurt anything.
When I stored my 66 for 15 months cuz of deployment, I put it up on 8 jackstands for the whole time. Had to use so many cuz the classics flex a ton!!

No problems if just over the winter.
Did it all the time when I used to go to Florida.
Cheers.
