That's in chapter 32-220 in the FSM (and this thread => http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/diesel-discussion/263591-front-rear-spring-color-codes.html thanks Charlie!)

I forgot I posted those. once the picture opens. click on it, the hold the CRTL key, roll the mouse wheel and it will expand. at least on my computer it does.
