Changing out my rear springs. I'm adding more weight in the back so putting in taller springs. They are the original Donahoe springs. Let me know if you're interested...$100 obo.

What are you putting in the back? I have SAW rear springs I think they are 195 lbs. They are stiff! Without weight, the ride is very hard.

SAWS have to be more than that. Stocks are 190 lbs/in. Donahoes are 215 lbs/in. So my new ones shouldn't be that much stiffer than the DRs.

Putting in AP 3.5". Not worried about the weight. Usually have two dogs in the back anyway. Plus I'm adding a drawer system and a rear bumper/swingout.

I guess I have no idea what the spring rate is then...but they are STIFF. Each bump you go over without weight in the back and at slow speed is tough.

A drawer system would be nice. Are you going to build or buy? I imagine that it would reduce cabin noise as well.

Really. They are stiff. The were rebuilt and they are stiff. So much so that everyone who rides in my truck comments on it. Enough of the high jack.

Icon springs for $100 is a steal.
