I always get a chuckle when this topic is mentioned. A tire "Just Touching" is ok but a tire 1/4" off the ground is not.
These things are designed to have all or part of the tires off the ground, it isn't going to hurt anything.
If it really is just touching (you can spin it by hand), that's really no better than off the ground.
But if the suspension is flexing 4" from fully loaded to unloaded and you lift it 2", there is still a lot of weight on the tire and should be sufficient to resist shifting horizontally.
You can certainly ignore what the manufacturer says but just looking at them, it's clearly not designed for it.
