After months…and I mean months… of suspension analysis paralysis looking for a solution to excessive trailer sag while incorporating a mild lift, I contacted Nomad Outfitters in Englewood, CO. They suggested going with a Dobinsons IMS set up, SPC UCAs, and OME 2721 rear springs which they installed last week. Couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Everything sits nice and level and the ride quality is great. If you’re looking for a quality build shop, call Tyler. He has a few Youtube videos out there showing off some of their other 200 builds as well.

From a spring rate perspective, they surely are enough.
There's often conflation between spring rate and ride height. Ideally, there would be a 2721 varient that keeps the progressive rate with maybe a .5 " to 1" more free length. This can also be done with spacers or shim packers that are available in different heights to make these minor adjustments.
Spring rate is one of those things that more is really not better. At least in regards to a good off-road vehicle. It's the difference between say an F250, and a slinky Raptor. Just enough spring rate to do the job, but slinky and flexy is what's best off road.
Glad you're enjoying the new setup! Let me know if we can be of assistance on anything else and we'll see you back for your 500 mile. Thank you, Tyler
