If it will be some time before moving, take the wheels off and fill the tires with nitrogen. Store out of the sunlight.

Get some bricks or pavers and park it on them, get the tires off the dirt/grass and you'll be fine.

Just need to be on a predominantly dry surface. Mine's covered, so even though the ground is all caliche, I don't put the tires on anything.

Unless you got some different jacks, the crank down kind are not intended to support the weight of the trailer, more to just keep it from moving when you step into/out of it and move around in it and level it. Not saying they wont pick it up or hold it, but that is not their intended purpose.
I would cover the tires and like stated above park them on brick boards or concrete not dirt/grass.

As long as it drains and doesn't pool, I would think that is fine.

I would cover the tires and like stated above park them on brick boards or concrete not dirt/grass. 100% correct.. Tried to jack my whole trailer off the ground at storage.. Long story short, new jacks a few weeks later. They immediately failed and the trailer almost pinned me against a wall OP, put tire covers on them, park the trailer on 4x4's. No problems here. The biggest thing that kills trailer tires is UV rays and sitting in the grass/dirt too long
