"NOTE:The standard front spring/GAWR on Pickup models is computer-selected based on the total front weight of options ordered. Front spring/
GAWR upgrades range from 3800 lbs. to 5250 lbs. (4x2) and 4400 lbs. to 6000 lbs. (4x4). Certain option packages include the following
front spring/GAWR upgrades: Heavy Service Front Suspension Package and Heavy Service Package For Pickup Box Delete — Front springs/
GAWR will be selected 1 upgrade higher than standard computer selection; Camper Package — Front springs/GAWR will be selected 2
upgrades higher than standard computer selection on 4x2 models and 1 upgrade higher than standard computer selection on 4x4 models;
Snowplow Package — Front springs/GAWR is assigned or specifically selected as shown in the chart above. Front spring/GAWR upgrade is
not included if the maximum front spring has been computer-selected as a consequence of options ordered."
