??? about TC on truck 24/7

Not sure if this is ok or not. I have a crew cab dully truck, and the tc is 4500lbs. If I leave it on the truck sitting all year with jacks down, I lift the tc up half way to lighten it a bit. will it still hurt the springs? or wear it out? I take the truck and camper to work once a week or once every two weeks, just to run it.
some guys here on this tc forum has their camper on all year but uses it.
like to have the tc on the truck ready to go when I decide to use it at the last min.
any thoughts?
  • great replys, I might add, I will take the tie downs off while sitting. the tc jacks might hold about 40% of its weight.
  • I personally don't worry about my spring pack being effected by my 2900 lb Lance,
    My Camper lives on my truck.

  • I always released my Fast Guns and lifted the weight off of the tires and suspension. Took about 5 min.
