Fresh fuel filled to the brim, maybe change the oil.

Put a trickle charger on the batteries.

4 months isn't too long.

If it is going to be in cold temps, I would make sure the coolant is good and maybe add some anti-gell to the fuel.

If you have jack-stands it would not hurt to put it up.
That way the wheels are not sitting on the ground.

You'll need a trickle charger. Leave the batteries connected.

Fuel conditioner, unhook the battery. You might even put it on blocks and let some of the tire pressure out.
