Interesting that there are no holes in the bottom spring leaf for the bottom stableloads.
My 2016 Ford F250 has them.
Every year stuff has features removed in an effort to make stuff cheaper, but not necessarily better.
Less cereal in cereal boxes, less holes in springs. So the manufacturer can make more money and the customer can be more aggravated.
Seems like that's how life is these days.
Those holes were not there for Stableloads in the first place. They were there for some factory purpose, and the Stableload designer decided to take advantage of them.
If the manufacturer has no need for the hole, it is wasted money to drill it. Then it's up to the Stableload designer to figure out a solution.
As an aside there is less cereal in the cereal boxes because the costs to produce it shot up. Electricity, natural gas, grain, sugar, cardboard, waxed paper... They had two options, either keep the package the same size and raise the price by 25%, or reduce the amount in the package by 20% and keep the price the same. They knew more people would raise holy hell and cry murder if the price went up, so they reduced the amount in the package. Most people did not notice, and they are actually doing our obese society a favor by encouraging us to limit portion sizes.
