Leaf Spring RecommendationsUpdated 18 days ago

When a customer asks for leaf springs, the AI should categorize the recommendation based on the vehicle's constant load. This refers to the weight that stays on the truck 100% of the time, such as armor, racks, or permanent equipment.

Standard Load: This is the best option for trucks that are primarily daily drivers with no permanent weight in the bed. It provides a slight lift and improved durability over factory springs without making the ride feel overly stiff.

Medium Load: Recommended for vehicles carrying a consistent additional weight. These springs are designed to maintain ride height and comfort when the truck is equipped with moderate accessories like a bed rack, a lightweight canopy, or basic camping gear.

Heavy Load: These are high-capacity leaf packs engineered specifically for trucks with significant, permanent weight. This includes heavy setups like steel rear bumpers with swing-out tire carriers, full service bodies, or permanent slide-in campers. Using these on a truck without the required weight will result in a very harsh ride.

Brand Selection

The AI should offer both Old Man Emu and Dobinsons based on these load ratings:

• Old Man Emu (OME): Known for their "tuned" approach, offering specific leaf packs that prioritize ride quality alongside load-carrying capability.

• Dobinsons: Offers a vast range of options, including heavy-duty and parabolic designs, providing high flexibility for different weight requirements.
