I am rebuilding the suspension soon and getting parts list together now.

I am seriously considering replacing the coil springs and want opinions. Truck does not appear to be abused in the past so I doubt the springs were overloaded.

Rears are HD option.

I see aftermarket also has a HD spring for the front. Should I go with it or stay with the normal one? I prefer ride over load as the truck won't be hauling very often.

Thoughts?

I plan on using NAPA 2nd line suspension parts which is TRW, MOOG is just too $$$.
