Hi y'all,

I have a 58 TF 2 ton truck. Space is getting kinda tight around my yard and I was thinking about loading a 4000 pound tractor on the truck and then putting them in the shed. The tractor may set on the bed of the truck for several months. Do you think I would hurt the springs or doing any damage to the truck with that much weight sitting on it for long periods of time??

It'll be OK for a few months
For a year or more consider jacking the truck frame up and supporting it to take the weight off the springs.

try putting a block between the axle housing and frame before you load it.
