Does the vehicle stay in off-road height when turned off?

BTW, I will alternatively park it in Access, Normal, and O/R so the Bags never develop creases from being in one position. I've always had excellent life out of my Air Suspension systems due to this...

I like this reasoning a lot. But with my luck (and aging memory), I can easily see myself scraping off my crossbars since I have tight clearance in my garage even at normal height.

I have a friend whose child was crushed to death in his driveway. Do it right. Every time. Put jackstands, wood blocks or something similar under the frame rails when crawling under there.

It only takes once.

As above, Jack stands, pull fuses, then all I need to worry about are earthquakes.

Been under an LR3 changing transfer case fluid when it auto leveled down..... flat on my back watching the frame get closer and closer to my chest. Never again without a jack stand

Leaving a door open will prevent auto-leveling, or pulling the appropriate relays/fuses.

Regardless, as noted above, use jack stands or other safety supports.

I think the concern with any plastic ramps is there have been reports of them failing under load. YMMV, etc, but I'd still use additional stands/supports. As @avslash said, it only takes once.

For the OP, It can get pretty tight under there to replace those fluids. I'd recommend getting a decent height jack from Harbor Freight and 4 axle stands. It's also not worth risking your life and the terrible pain for your family by rising what the suspension system may or may not do
