OK I have this 1987 J-20 project and I want to start thinking about a leaf spring swap. As we all know the stock springs make it ride like a lumber wagon. I am not looking to make it ride like my 2008 F-150 FX 4 and I don't need the ability to carry a total GVW of 8600 either. I will have a class 3 trailer hitch and I would like the flexibility of being able to tow my trailer and CJ 7 on it without the nose it the air stance. It's funny, when I load the CJ 7 on the trailer with my F-150 the truck stays nearly level and it still rides great while empty. HOW IS THAT DONE? Progressive rate springs?
My options:
1. new front and rear J-10 spec springs with extra rear leaves
2. current J-20 springs with reduced spring pack
3. something else
