heavy load springs and /or spring spacers. One advantage of heavy load springs is that the stiffer springs improve handling on turns. SAS sells them. Your original springs may have sagged over time. I had to go with 1" spring spacers, heavy load springs and the adjustable shocks are set to max dampening. I had to do this because of bad rear rubbing with 7.5" rims. If you have the stock tire then I'm not sure where it would be rubbing since there are bump stops. I'm not sure which would be better to replace, springs, spacers, bump stops or shocks. Stiffer springs may be the way to go if you like to haul loads.
