This applies to Billd, Canadiansaaber & Jimmy Bean.
I had the same problem & went with SPG springs (thanks andy!!) instead. This solved my bottoming-out problem in the front. But, hauling more landscape mat'ls this Spring, I discovered the stiffer-but-shorter rear springs still allowed undercarriage scrape as I climb the "California curb" into the driveway.
Since my new springs are stiff enough & simply just too short, I was able to solve my problem with SAS's spacers. This would be an unsatisfactory fix for you guys, because your springs will still be too soft. The best way for the three of you to go is with new, SAS Heavy Duty rear springs.
They're a "combination" winding, meaning part of the spring's travel is still soft like OE springs, but then the remainder of the spring's travel is at a stiffer rate & gives the extra support you're looking for when all loaded up. From nathan's description, they're not as soft as OE springs, but not as always-stiff as the SPGs I've got now. Handling also benefits, 'cuz it's similar to adding a slightly stiffer rear anti-sway bar. Including shipping, I think they're about $150. As long as your front springs are OK, I think this is the best course of action for what you're all trying to accomplish.
