suspension air dump during loading/unloading?

I'm wondering if I should dump the air from my suspension after I have my dolly legs set. I thought it might take some of the strain off the suspension and let the legs do their job of holding things in place. Then air up again when they finish driving the forklift in and out. Is there a usual procedure for that? Thanks.

I don't think it would make that much difference. I use the dump for adjusting the box height to the dock rather than for any form of support. Once your landing gear is down, it will support the majority of the weight regardless.
