    I know there are a lot of threads about this stuff... But there are a lot of variables..

    I have a truck camper rig, bullbar and a 1500lb camper on the back. No winch at the moment, and if I get one it will have a synthetic cable, so not too heavy.

    I've got 2886 springs and 90000 nitrochargers.

    The ride is really stiff.. I can't bounce the truck at all by standing on the bumper and jumping. (I'm about 165lbs.. My 220lb buddy can get some movement on it) And hitting bumps seems like I don't have springs at all.. It's just BAM, pothole. Washboard roads are like sitting on a shaker table.

    I'm not really sure why, as everything I read makes these seem like the correct springs, and plenty of others saying it's a similar ride to stock, etc.. All I can think is I have an access cab and maybe they have a heavier double cab.. But then I have the heavy camper.

    Are there other options? I mean, I know about all the various OME coils, and could use some advice about them. But are there other brands to look in to for a heavy off-road rig? Cost isn't really a factor.. (I mean.. it is, but I want a good ride! These are 6 years old, so I could justify replacing them)

    thanks for any advice

    I run 885's with a slim bumper, synthetic winch(still heavy), and skid and the 885's arent happy. I figured I would have been fine since i didnt go full bumper but 886's still would have been the right choice.
