I'm not even sure I would listen to some of the information provided by the truck manufacturers (provided the statements on here that are attributed to them are accurate). I can see no logical reason why it would not be a good idea to restore as much TV front axle weight as possible. If the truck manufacturer doesn't think the truck needs as much front axle weight as the truck was designed to carry then why did they design it that way?
Perhaps they recognize that pickups are inherently front end heavy? That's where they put the engine. The owner's manuals for current models are readily available. With today's litigious society, I find it hard to believe that they would change their recommendations without good legal and engineering reasons.
