to me the 860s in the back feel pretty stiff so I would not want to find out what an 863 rear rides like in a lightly loaded rig.

You will feel a big difference when you switch from stock. It is a bumpier ride in the back seats on pavement. This is offset by a big improvement in stability both on and offroad.

I had the springs in for 50,000+ miles over a 12 year period. They did not seem to sag at all or change in feel. I used them with the n73/n74 OME shocks. The shocks are still being used with 861+862 springs now.
