If you use the DIY4x kit to fit the 52" leaf spring in the front, how do you determine what rate coil to use in the rear in order to provide a decent ride quality? Obviously you can get different spring heights to adjust the rear ride height to match the front, but I would also want to ensure good ride quality and handling (for a truck).
The Moog brand replacement gives spring rates on the CarID website. You can use this as a base line to determine a suitable taller replacement.
