I have tried the 250, 275, and 300 lb springs, I like the 275lb'ers the best, but you won't be hauling much with them. Welding in a socket of a weight jack is the smartest thing to do, then you can set the R.H. perfect.
Perfect, glad to know about the A body springs, Not going to be hauling much of anything in the truck... If I decide to actually haul something I'll grab some Firestone airbags. Time to go take a look at the Afco catalog.
