Someone PMed me about the suspension blocker, thanks, I added the notes below to the buying checklists. I also found some pics online.
Make sure the dealer removes the front suspension blockers. These are black or orange bumpers that lock the springs for shipment. It's on the delivery checklist but the box often gets checked off even though they didn't do it. If the front rides hard and high or you hear a noise from the front, check for the bumpers. This is what they look like before removal (on right) and after being mangled from driving around (orange, on left) because the dealer didn't remove them. It can dislodge the shock boot.
