could be something to do with the early 190's having twin wheels, cant think of anything for the newer ones though, unless its something to do with the weight of the vehicle

150 axle is the same as my old hicube left dhl with a wineing axle so changed it for 1 out of a rac van :) springs are the same too :) just the weight on the plate i think :? and maybe front axle is plated at a different weight :? not sure tho :?
You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.
