1.5 HD Coils

I am going to buy some HD coils soon to fix my rear end sag and I was wondering who has the best price on them. I was also wondering if anyone has any write-ups/advice on installation. Thanks

Got mine from Central 4WD. There's two different write-ups in the tech section on the install one of them being mine. A good floor jack is required and a spring compressor would make your life easier. I would recommend doing at least the rear two shocks at the same time because you have to take both off and the bolts will be rusted and nasty making it a pain to put them back on. Bils are about $55 a piece.

Also, does anyone have the HD's? I haul a bike rack and subwoofer all the time so I figured I should go with the HD springs. Do they ride rough? Any other downfalls?

I heard air bags ride really stiff. Seems like they would also limate articulation. Seems like the coils are the "right way" to fix the problem. Am I right on this?

Articulation, yes, hard ride, not in the least. Best part I love about them is they dampen quite a bit, unlike springs, tunable with air pressure, and increase carrying capacity more so than even HD springs.
