Question:

2020 ram 2500 on vehicle lift for tire rotation you said it should be ok but the axil should be supported. What does supporting the axil mean when your on a vehicle lift? You do not know what the garage will do when you bring it in for rotation or if they will brace the axil. What exactly do you mean by bracing the axil if on a lift thanks

Your 2020 Ram 2500 can have the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88289 installed and the vehicle can be on a hoist without the rear axle braced if it is a short term amount of work like a tire rotation, as you mentioned.

Otherwise, what is meant by brace is the axle should be supported with jack stands. There are certainly jack stands tall enough that may garages have, and they need to be used if lengthy work is being done and you have the # AL88289 installed.
