DRW rear springs would be a small gain in preventing sag and should include an overload spring. You need to be sure your truck has the overload bump stops.

Yes but check the frame for the overload bumpstops. I'll have to check other info later tonight.

Look into Timbrens. They replace the factory bump stops.

Makes the ride nice because they don't make contact when empty. With 3500# in the bed the ride feels a little bouncy but I think I'm due for shocks.
