1955first6500 'Bolter 1 Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 128 MO	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? Attachments IMG_2024-01-28-11-52-46-354.jpg (154.12 KB, 83 downloads)

Some of this story is in the Side Lot Some people like a new truck. I liked the old ones.
