EVO plush ride or HD springs

[MAG00]

Gonna be doing an EVO 2.5 lift and wondering about going with plush ride coils or HD coils? Rig will have front bumper with winch and rear bumper. Running with 35s on KMC beadlocks. Currently have a steel rolling tonneau cover. Currently not pulling or carrying heavy loads normally and will be a daily driver. I do regularly carry about 80-100 lbs of gear (tools and misc).
Curious to get feedback on which coils would be better for daily driver and why?

Call Evo, they will tell ya…… with rack+ : heavy springs…………. No rack : plush.

Thanks. Like mentioned, I currently have a steel roll up tonneau cover cover with the option to put Yakima rack on top (probably no roof top tent though) and will be putting a Motobuilt crusher front bumper with winch and Motobuilt rear bumper with corners. So seems based upon your comment, I may be on the line of either or. Normally I would lean towards the HD side of things.

The there is no difference in spring rate HD vs plush. The HD spring is just over a 1in longer in length.

Believe it or not I have both and I have removed the heavy duty ones but I have them in the garage for a quick install if I need them. On my Ford Super duty trucks I run long travel airbags because I’m constantly adjusting the load in the bed. If I was constantly adjusting the load in the gladiator, I also would have long travel airbags for that purpose. Not sure if anybody makes long travel airbags for gladiator, but I would buy the bags and make custom mounts for them.

Any thoughts on if I were to go with the plush ride coils, and have simple air bags in the rear for when loaded down heavier which would not be very often?
