Hi All - I have an 87 R10 SWB 2WD 5.7L with original G51 rear springs. It's a great ride when hauling a load, but I'm looking to change it to a smoother daily driver as I am getting older. What replacement springs would you recommend? Thanks in advance.

I would keep the same springs and take a leaf (or two) out of the existing pack, tuning to your preference.

Thanks hadn't thought of that. It's 5+1 so remove the middle of the 5?
