Truck has 225,000 miles and the rear leaf springs need replacing. I tow a boat and also an enclosed 6'x12' trailer. I am not sure what brand or weight capacity to get and install. I want springs that will have the same capacity as stock or maybe increase the capacity by 100-150 lbs at the tongue. I saw the 100lb capacity and I think a 1,350lb capacity. Has total of 4 springs stock and are mounted under the axle. I know that increasing capacity can cause the ride to be stiffer. Looking for advice and or from members that have installed a pair of rear leaf springs and overall ride, and if they droop any when towing anything??
I really appreciate the input!
Thanks, Garland
