Theres 2 schools on that one. Some say it hurts them to sit loaded and some say it doesn't, but and heres the big one. It depends on the spring and the type of truck. You take the run of the mill chev or ford pickup well yes it hurts them to stay loaded for a long time but over night or a dya or so no its ok. The big rigs on the other hand can be loaded or unloaded and not hurt them but they also have spring packs that are 10 time stronger then the run of the mill chev or ford pickup. You ever see one of those old car driveing down the road that had a rear bumper almost hitting the road becuase of wore out springs?? That is caused by being over loaded and the load left on the springs for a long time
