MancheKid86 Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 yes i am :D and i just looked in the door pannel, and it seems like i have the metric ton package, it says its rated for 2200kg, and i believe my leafs have 5 of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 that's a basic 4wd leaf pack, NOT a metric ton pack. two dead give-aways... 1st, it's a shortbed. they could have HD axles, but not MT springs from factory. 2nd is that the pictures show only 3 leafs plus an overload, which is normal.
