I go to Oreilly's to see about some rear coil springs & they have 4 different choices, see photo, 2 variable rate & 2 HD. Im guessing the heaviest variable rate would be the way to go, I am going to be hauling stuff in the bed & pulling a 20' trailer with some of my smallish tractors to tractor shows & other hauling on occasion but there will be mostly just driving the truck & I dont want it to ride like a buckboard wagon. Opinions?

Do you have the half leaf overloads? They work great for heavier than daily use. 2ish inches of sag and they hit

It does have the overloads, but the coils are doing plenty of sagging on their own smile

Some people like a new truck. I liked the old ones.
