Default Question on jacking an LS430 w/ air suspension-

Can they be lifted say for a tire rotation like any other car? I know on my Mark VIII the suspension MUST be switched off first. Any similar "rules" about say a 2001 Ultra pkg w/ air suspension?

Just don't turn on the ignition or start the car while it's on the lift with wheels in the air.

Don't worry about it. You'll be fine.

I haven't had problems even when turning the car to the on position while it was raised up.

If you need to run the car with it off the ground for any amount of time longer then a min then disable the compressor. Pull the fuse for it. This is also how you disable the compressor if you convert the suspension. Also, do not remove the height sensors if you don't want to look at warning lights on your dash all the time,
