I ALSO HEAR ON SOME TV PROGRAM ABOUT STORING CARS THAT YOU SHOULD LEAVE YOUR DOOR OPEN A LITTLE BIT LIKE ONLY SHUT IT SO IT CLICKS ONCE, I GUESS BEING CLOSED ALL THE WAY FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME WILL FLATTEN OUT THE SEALS AND THEY'LL LEAK AIR AND SOMETIMES WATER WHEN YOUR DIVING. I HAVE A MOUSE PROBLEM IN MY GARAGE OUT HERE IN KENTUCKY, GET A COUPLE BOXES OF MOTH BALLS AND PUT THEM ON PAPER PLATES NEXT TO YOUR WHEELS AND AROUND THE TRUCK. THE MOTH BALLS BURN THEIR NOSES AND THEY'LL STAY AWAY FROM YOUR TRUCK. BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY MICE HERE, ITS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS...THE TRAPS ONLY STOP A FEW OF THE MANY.

Ok cool, so dont let the bags fully droop and dont compress them full either right? so drain them completely, put the truck on jacks and then compress the bags with more jacks just a little bit? drain the water from the tanks, and keep all of the connections (lines, valves, bags)connected?, this is my first winter with a serious air setup and i just really dont want it to be messed up come April

The mouse traps is a good idea!
I would put a cover on it if you can.

No need to put jacks or blocks under the control arms. Just put some 4-6" blocks under the frame to keep it off the ground. As long as the tires are still on the ground, the bag wont be fully compressed. Also drain your air tanks and I always left the plug out of mine over winter to avoid condensation build up. And I'm from Canada. So I know what real 'Winter' is. haha.
