It is supposed to help if it's off the ground and suspension, however the big thing is off the cold concrete with less tire patch and potential for flat spotting.
My bag has a heavy fluid proof mat, but still, I pump tires up to 35-40 and roll them up on thick plush carpet squares before everything gets zipped up.

I put an extra 10psi or so in each tire and have never experienced even a hint of flat spotting with my Yoko radials even after a six month snooze.

Hmmm...there was another thread a long time ago that indicated it isn't good for the suspension to leave it hanging. Pros and cons perhaps?

Kevin - I think the caution about parking a car on jackstands and leaving the suspension drooping applies primarily to cars with factory rubber and sleeve type bushings - as it leaves them in a twisted state and is said by some to contribute to their deterioration. Some disagree that it causes any harm. That issue wouldn't apply to poly or bronze bushings as they can rotate.
