I'll be curious to see how you like the lighter duty springs. The Heavy Duty springs are actually are actually dual rate springs. The coils in the middle give the better ride (when there's no load) they will compress closer and the rest of spring absorbs the load, THEN the corn cob repaired overload leaf springs take over...I've see the middle parts of the rear coils compress completely together...when loaded

Are you getting new control arms???
