Im going to be doing my suspension(most likely OME) at some point lol. Im just wondering should I go with the hard leafs or medium(normal)?
I kind of want to plan for an adventure type rig with front winch bumper, rear tire swing away later down the road. I dont plan on doing hardcore crawling of any kind, just trails nothing on the extreme difficult side. I want to be able to load the back down with gear as needed and pack in 4 adults and not sag(badly). The problem is, I wont also to be able to run with no gear at all also. Im worried heavy duty setup with no gear(driving to work) or just basic recovery gear on easy trails will make it handle sucky.
If Im on the trails will not having enough weight on the springs cause it to not flex out enough? Will on road handling and feel be thrown off, I dont mind a rougher ride really but if its really bouncy that will suck. I want the suspension to be able to work.
I hate to go medium then load the rear up and sag it way down and maybe cause premature wear on the leafs.
So, in basic; will having heavy duty springs suck in an empty jeep on and offroad?
My stock suspension now sucks so bad a few bags of grocery is enough to lower the rear a good inch lol. I can see the rear end get lower as I pump in a full tank also.
