300lb rear springs - Eibach or ?

[pablo94sc]

I've added roughly 250lbs of weight to the bed with the rack and tent, and total weight while traveling will be in the 350-400lb range.

Without going overboard on weight rating or price, what are y'all's recommendations for approx. 300lb rear springs that'll get things back to within factory spec? Eibach has some at $300, so starting there. Links or part numbers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Stock front. Stock tires. Eibach 500# rear.

Wow. That's about my stance with my tent and rack on stock springs. How heavy is your setup? Mine is about 230lbs because I have the tent mattress out, so I'm going to guess you're pushing 700lbs?

Since these have the same spring rate as stock (194 lb/in), you will be right around stock height with 300-400lb in the bed. I need to find some time to install this spring.

That’s 330# in the bed of the truck in that picture. At 500# it sits exactly like stock and rides exactly like stock too.

Interesting. Thanks!

What do you mean "back to factory specs"? The lead springs have nothing to do with the payload rating.

Ride height, rake... it's for my Raptor.

So no increase in the spring rate? I'm coming from modifying cars, so seems I may need a quick tutorial on truck spring selection.
