I think there is a reason they call them rough country. I don't know where it is now, possibly on CK5, there is a spring rate table to some popular front springs. I think RC had the highest spring rate. I think I have a set on the front of my crew, and had them on my 89 when I first SAS'd it. It rode OK, but had a 454 to weigh the front down. I'd rather spend the money on a softer front spring, or swap in a set of 52s and keep the overload. Only have to move the front hanger.
