max tow pkg shocks

Are the shocks different between the regular tow pkg trucks and the max tow pkg trucks?

No. The shocks on my truck have the same part numbers as those on my friend’s 2.7 STX non tow.

Have you checked the part numbers on the spring packs? Is there a difference in the number of leaf springs?.

The springs are all different. Depends on the configuration of the truck. 2 trucks that look the same could have different spring packs, they may look the same, but the part numbers will differ.

Yea, I was wondering about the springs on a standard tow package vs the max tow. I can see where the different trim levels and powertrain configurations would call for different spring rate.

Trucks with 157" wb and 20" wheels did get the heavy springs and frame.
