Can I put my car on blocks - air suspension?

I have a slow suspension leak that I can not find. I would like to put the GTC on blocks for a few months as I will not have access to start it and refill the air shocks. Is there anything I need to do in order to avoid issues? Hopefully when I return to the car, I can just start it up and the shocks will reinflate?

you should be able to put it in Jack mode.......that may keep it locked at the height you leave it, but jack mode will allow you to put it up on axle stands , i would avoid blocks as such

Jack mode does not keep the car at a normal height. Why can't I use the blocks to prevent me coming back to a car on the ground with zero air in the shocks?

That's what I thought. Thank you Dark Green!
Chasing around a pin hole leak at this point seams useless.
