Suspension Issues?

My car has been sitting in the air with the front wheels suspended for about 4+ months. I have some wooden ramps underneath the front wheels, but they were put there after the car was lifted, so they aren't really doing anything. Will this affect my suspension at all when I go to put the car back down on the ground? Will my front end be all jacked up?

It shoulden't make any difference the springs wont get any longer or anything as long as the front end was in good shape (lubed and solid) you shoulden't notice any difference after a few miles .

Yea, she is running great. I forgot how low the car sat too...when I put her back on the ground after getting everythign together I was shocked to see how low she sits.

It is obviously a little to late for this tid bit, but if you leave your suspension dangling for long amounts of time, you can run into pitting of your shock/strut shafts. Usually takes longer than a year unless you are in a humid or salty climate. There are other reasons out there as well, but I just can't think of them at the moment.
