Advice on Suspension Upgrades

[wasitim]

I've owned a 2022 Overland since new. The only changes made to the truck so far are putting in the minimal 1-2" front leveling and some 35" tires.

I'm retired now and pulling this behind our motorhome for the next couple of years. We go off road with a bit when there are places to do so and really enjoy it.

I've added and Overland Systems cap and a diy in bed drawer system for tools and am at around 600 lbs over empty on the rear axle. This has caused it to ride like sh&t. I added some heavier weight bump stops but that helped only minimally. I've got 55k miles on it.

I need to add some beefier springs to the rear and figure while I'm at it, I'd really like to improve the off road experience. I'm not doing anything technical in terms of trails and just enjoy getting off the road where we can. I'd consider a lift as well but don't want to put a ton of money into this.

I'd love to hear some of avenues to consider from all of you.

I know some lift kit and suspension websites such as @ClaytonOffroad offer just the replacement coil springs. There might even be a chart or something handy on their site to look at regarding load etc. Take this with a grain of salt, but it sounds to me like your setup would benefit from some type of a dual-rate coil?

Thanks.
Yeah, got a quote for ICON multi-rate for 1.5". It seems there's not a ton of these available for stock suspension and most require minimum 2.5" lift. Considering that path. Also considering the AirLift 1000's as an inexpensive start.
