If you didn't, I would definitely do an oil change now and put it back into storage.

Here is a fantastic guide to taking the 986 out of storage, and how to get things circulating before you start it up for the first time: http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-general-discussions/4954-time-wake-up.html

For the suspension, it couldn't hurt to roll the car onto a new section of tire, but you don't want to leave the suspension "unsprung."
Thanks for the link!
Yes of course always new oil in before storing. Yes below I said jack a rotate when I should have said jack and spin the wheels so that the load path changes the wheel. I think this be easier than rolling the whole car
