Might cause a little sag in the leafs, but I wouldn't imagine much of a long term effect. I know ain't no way I'd unload just to load up again in two days. If you are worried about it, place a couple jack stands for support and get the weight off the leafs for the couple days if the truck is gonna sit.

If this is a normal thing for you, think about investing in a set of airbags. If you don't go for the optional on-board compressor, it's only about a $200 investment and can be installed in the driveway in a couple hours...
