Im going to install new coils in the rear in a couple weeks. Does anyone have a sense of how new OEM AHC coils compare to used and tired (180k) non-AHC coils? I can get a set of tired used springs for cheap, but I don't want a stiff ride. I may put a 150lb drawer system in the rear sometime this winter, but that's not really much heavier than the 3rd row.
Im running mostly stock weight now, with the exception of a heavy front bumper. Eventually I plan on running a little on the heavy side: extended range fuel tank, rear bumper with spare and swing outs, roof rack, and sliders. I'll probably do these in reverse order over a span of 3-4 years. (Or i go broke, which ever comes first.) With all this extra weight I expect I'll eventually be in the market for new non-AHC or 80 series springs. For now, for the next year or so, I'll be running more or less stock weight over the rear axles.
With whatever coils i put in, im also installing airbags for towing and other heavy conditions. Which should keep me in spec pressure wise between springs.
Thoughts?
