So this may seem like a stupid question, but why is there a grease zerk on the end of the leaf spring? I havent seen a lot of heavy duty springs, admittedly, but I have never seen one with a zerk. Is this common?

It probably has solid bushings instead of rubber like the lighter duty trucks have. Makes sense for heavy duty work. Pump some grease in. They're probably still useable!

What year is your truck, and is it a C30?

I have a C20 CS, and I don't even have that.
