Rear suspension load basics
Rear suspension is where most of a truck’s load and towing forces meet, so rear air springs are often chosen for hauling, camping or towing. A variable load design adjusts support as weight changes, which can suit vehicles that run light most of the time and carry heavier loads on some trips. Think about how the vehicle is normally loaded before choosing the stiffness that fits.
When replacing rear springs, look at the parts that work with them. Leaf packs, shackle bushings, bump stops and the rear shock absorbers all affect how the suspension moves. Worn bushings can allow play that wears new springs unevenly, and a worn bump stop may contact the axle earlier than expected. Replacing these at the same time keeps the rear end working as a unit.
Signs that a rear air spring needs attention include sagging at the rear, a bouncy or harsh ride, unequal ride height from side to side, and cracked or bulging bellows. Air that escapes overnight points to a leak in a spring or fitting. Inspect the lines and connections often, and keep the bellows clean and free of road debris.
