Default How easy is it to damage air suspension?
The Toyota dealer had my '02 UL up on a lift without the suspension being supported and had the engine running at the same time. When it was lowered the front was jacked up and the rear was really low, but the car promptly leveled out and drives fine. What are the odds of any damage being done to the airbags because they lifted the car by the body and turned it on?

I had my car sit on it's belly on ice with rear wheels up in the air. When a tow truck wenched me out both front and back were low but in a few minutes my car leveled up fine and still drives fine.

Odds: Slim to none.

The air suspension is not harmed by what you describe.
