How do you like your rear Suspension??

I usually run my leafsprings really soft.. When Im on the way to the camp site full of gear im overloaded, but when im on the hard stuff it seems to flex really well.. How do yall like to run ur stuff?? THis is for the people that do more camping, expedition type of trail riding???
Thanks for the help, Rooskey

I have 5" T-G springs on my Trekker. It flexes awesome, settle a little as expected.
I dd the truck periodically when it isn't broken..have hauled many loads for remodeling projects back from home depot and lowe's. I think they are a fairly functional, decent all around spring.
I just would have gone with a 4" spring if I were to do it over...

What size tires do you run? I'm in the market for a spring swap myself. I'm running 35's currently, and would like to stay that way. I've read up on chevy spring swaps, but I'm still lost as to what tires will fit under them. I just don't like how rough my rigs suspension is.

35x13.50's currently:

I need to move my front axle forward:

tons of people running 35's with chevy's..a lot of it depends on the conditions of the spring you get..
