Front springs are completely collapsed, body IS sitting on the frame rubber stops. passenger airbag inside coil spring ok, driver side airbag inside coil spring ruptured. took to a truck repair facility in wilmington, nc and they are very familiar with the problem, have repaired many workhorse chassis. mechanic told me the problem IS a result of workhorse widening the front tire span but not reengineering the spring suspension, thus the spring failure. I called workhorse but they have no recalls on this unit. I feel this IS a serious safety issue and should be addressed by workhorse. coil springs should not collapse. the repairs are to be completed next week, march 26, 2012 at my expense, $850. *js
