I was almost going to start a new thread since I'm having trouble with my inquiry.
I'll ask here since the issues just came up.
I am also browsing around for front and rear shocks and brake parts. Pretty much everything seems available. But I'm having trouble telling what chassis I have vs the listed axle weights. Should be simple though I would think?
I have the mfg tag on the door and it states, 3300# front and 5700# rear. GVW as mtg'd is 8300#. The rear has duals and the front is a single 8 lug typical one ton type wheel, with dog dish hub cap, not a dually style wheel.
So far, Bilstein seems to be the only one to address the 4k# or non-4k# regarding shocks. I use AutoZone as my go-to FLAPS just because. Their website description(s) can be sometimes no accurate enough for me.
Am I thinking too hard? The B30, B300, CB300, MB300 is spinning me around
Just came from AutoZone website. Looked at front wheel bearings. Looks like the 3000 and 3300 lb fronts are 5 lug. 8 lug lists higher weights than my door tag.
