REAR COIL-OVER SHOCK ABSORBER
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-2.
Standard models are equipped with rear shock absorbers and coil-over springs designed for standard-duty service.
Heavy-duty rear shock absorbers and coil-over springs are available as an option for heavy-duty service. The rear
standard-duty and heavy-duty shock absorbers are designed differently. See following NOTE.
NOTE: The standard-duty rear coil-over springs and shocks are painted black. Heavy-duty rear coil-over springs and
shocks have shock housings painted black and springs painted silver.
When rear shock absorbers are installed, ensure both shock absorbers have identical part numbers.
The part number for standard-duty rear shock absorbers is different from the part number for heavy-duty rear shock
absorbers. Ensure that the correct rear shock absorbers and coil-over springs are used for the vehicle's load service
option when the rear shock absorbers are removed and replaced.
