I find this a interesting thread. I am interested in the same thing. I take the weight off if for more than a few days of just sitting. I would think it would make a difference but apparently I am dead wrong. I find this post very telling of just how wrong I must be.
Can someone explain why it doesn't wear out the suspension. I have seen pickups over the years where the suspension is worn out.

I put my Lance 1191 on my Ford truck in the spring of 2009 and it has never been off of it since then, going on 5 years now. I made measurements at the time of the install and a month ago and the change in deflection of the suspension is unchanged.
I would be more concerned about age of your tires and how often you cycle them (use them enough to excite the oils within the tire). As stated before, your tires will wear out before the tread or suspension, in most cases.
