I know it's there for a purpose, but sometimes the notations that are made on these sheets defies imagination. Like, XXL's truck was equipped with front and rear shocks. Ain't that a given? Why is it that some vehicles note that kind of stuff, and ohters don't? Weird.

I am sure the real reason was to aid the maintenance of the vehicles, when new....or when maintained by a dealership. My truck shows to have the G50 rear springs....mine are coils, but rated at 2000-lbs capacity. Since it is a short wheelbase truck, I don't have to tell you how it rode, do I?
