Looking for some advice/info on rear springs for the Rebel.

On stock springs my front with fox 2.5's is about an inch taller than the rear. When my bed is loaded and my rooftop tent is on, I'm running the Carolina Squat and towing was basically a no go.

I tried gladiator triple rate coil, from Clayton which are 159lbs/in, 280lbs/in and 360lbs/in for the final rate and a .5 inch spacer which brought my rake back. But now loaded, im sagging below the front again.

Im thinking about trying the 3.5" lift springs from Clayton but the different is only the tender spring rate of 190lbs/in

Ideally im using the truck for overlanding so street comfort isn't a priority but it would be nice to be able to load up the bed and not have to worry about bottoming it out.

So what are some good spring options?

I have probably 500lbs of gear loaded when we head out, plus passengers.

Or what is the stock Rebel speing rates?
 
I had Dobinson coils on my 2019 1500. I got the middle weight ones 150-250kg constant load. Part number C16-053V - Coil Spring 2” lift.

They also make a coil that’s 400-500kg of constant load. Part number C16-059V - Coil Spring 2” lift.

I was running a RCI rack on a 6ft bed with a ikamper skycamp plus loaded with camping or hunting stuff and it never really squatted.

Suspension wise I had the bilstein 6112’s maxed out plus a .5” spacer with the dobinsons in the rear . I’ll probably end up getting the middle weight ones again for my 25 rebel with alucab canopy.

There is also Carli coils to, they have 3 different rates, https://www.carlisuspension.com/pro...ram-1500/2019-components/rear-coil-springs-hd

This is how im sitting with the car dolly, which is pretty much how I look when I've got just my tent and gear in the bed.

Do the dobinsons stiffener you up quite a bite or is it still a fairly smooth ride?
