I was under the impression that all A2 models were 12k, but now after googling several different sources I'm not sure? Any help?

All A2 trucks SHOULD have 12k halfshafts and whatnot.

The way they labeled the parts was confusing. The A2 trucks all have suspension rated for 10k lbs, but the halfshafts are labeled as 12k. Wheras the A0/A1 trucks are rated 7.7k, or a heavy variant (M1097 series) is rated 10k, but all had 7.7k rated halfshafts that were later superceded to 10k labeled shafts.

IIRC the A2 trucks had a min GVWR of 10.300lb, all the 10K trucks should have 10K half shafts
