least equivalent to the reinforced frame.
3.4.8 Suspension. The vehicle shall be equipped with a suspension system with components
having a rated capacity at least equal to that specified in 3.2.6 and to the load imposed on each
member, measured at the ground, with the vehicle loaded to specified GVW. When spring
capacity is rated at the spring pads, unsprung weight shall be deducted.
