I believe it was so the front wheels don't lock up as easily and thus negate your steering during a hard brake application. But generally, for the easy life these trucks are going to lead now, it shouldn't matter. That is.....until it does.


The engineers may have designed them this way based on the likely loads of the front vs rear axle.
