Re-filling air suspension - I had a thought.

So as I am finishing-up my rear suspension overhaul, the time will soon come to get the car off jack-stands and put it back on the floor....

A thought occurred to me. I assume the height sensors installed on the suspension arms have a lot to do with how the air-suspension behaves / operates. Since the rear is off the ground and the arms are "down" - this, according to the sensors means the ride-height is very high. So will the air-bags activate to fill-up and adjust the ride height?

I also read not to put the car on the ground with the airbags empty, it will damage them.

Am I over thinking this? If I stick the fuse back in after I tighten the air-line connections in the trunk am I good to go?
