I store mine on level concrete.
I pull it in, put wood blocks under the retracted levelers, then dump the air. Result weight off the tires, weight off the bags at near driving location not stretched or smashed, and jacks fully retracted.
For blocks I use one 10x10 pole barn cutoffs and one 2x10 under each jack that leaves me about 1/4 of drop. I have Snappads on the levelers.

All my previous MHs ( 1 gasser and two DPs) had jacks and I stored them all winter (Oct to MAY) on the jacks.
HOWEVER - before retracting them I cleaned all the jacks and lubricated them with ATF and then ran them up an down a few times. I think the biggest potential issue with leaving the jacks down is that dirt can (and usually will) stick to them. When the jacks go in the dirt can rub on and affect the seals.
Now I only have air leveling so I don't have to crawl under to lubricate the jacks in the spring:)

I dump the air and drop the jacks.
In my case it's level anyway (in the garage) but I put the jacks down for stability when/if I'm working in there in the off season.

Get close to level with boards under the tires first.

I have a 40 Ft Freightliner Chassis with Air Bags Suspension. What is the best way to store the unit. Flat Level Ground with Air Bags Deflated or Inflated? If the ground is uneven left to right do I need to Level it somehow First ?
not sure about yours but when I level the MH my air bags automatically deflate
