How do you keep your AWE Strikers suspension from sagging?

So, first-world problem here: the "real working suspension" on the AWE has always bothered me because if you don't keep the weight off the wheels, the plastic suspension bits all inevitably deform (pretty quickly too). Actually, one of the things I dig about the Bumblebee AWE Striker is the lack of the working suspension. Anyway, I used to set my AWEs on a little raised box underneath the center of the vehicle to keep the wheels from touching down, but that's always been a pain in the ass whenever you move the toy. The Walmart Retro version from a couple of years ago comes with a cardboard shim for the rear suspension, and it's awesome because it takes the pressure off the suspension even when it's sitting on it's wheels. But that doesn't help with the front suspension, and I've gotta think of a way to do something similar that blocks the front control arms.
