I am going through the same process. Here is a detail sheet of the springs. Hope this helps.

Thanks for sharing the chart. I'm guessing the 3300 lb rating of my rear springs and the fact that I have no bed or any real weight in the rear is why the rear end of mine wont move at all.

On second thought, mine may be the 2025 rated pack. Either way, no bueno.

Here's a poser flex shot of my front 52's at work. According to that chart they are the 1950 capacity springs from an 80 something 2wd. Not a burb, but I've got a similar land yacht 144+ inch wheelbase. Keep in mind the rear springs are barely moving, too stiff.

Otherwise I'm thinking those 52s up front might be a bit lose on the road. I'd look into some kind of sway bar up front.
