i started @ 350# springs, way too soft even without the bed. the only other rate i had laying around was the 8" 550's... so figured i would try them. the rear of this truck was a lil over 2000# with the bed cover and normal "road trip crap" in the back.
i dot remember exactly what the front coils are, they are a drop spring, increased rate.
there is a lot to be said for designing the f&r suspension TOGETHER, and this is one place where i cut a corner. the rear was initially designed for my 1st gen, when i designed a SLA front suspension for it...it was a "matched f&r" design. i adapted that rear design to fit the 2nd gen, with prettymuch no regard to the front. basically going with the attitude that its gotta be a whole lot better than what was there. this is an area that needs to be addressed before i would be comforatable putting my name on a kit. looks like i need to go 2nd gen shopping for R&D purposes
