Now your testing my memory....I put that truck together years ago.....I believe I used a 250LB spring rate and the shocks are QA1 brand. I also have a 1/8 steel floor in my bed so it makes it a little heavier and I tow with it so I went a little stiffer on the springs. It still rides nice though. I think anything between 200 and 250 is good for a task force truck. I do not think I have a pic of the inside of the bed to show the tubs but I just cut the original tubs apart and added what I needed to cover the tires.
