Default March is Mod Madness Month!!!

I just sold my stainless running boards and rear tail light guards. With that flo and my tax return I am planning to get 2" RTE springs, RTE sliders, 5 BFG's, and the roof rack extension rails (cross bars to come soon after for my surfboard). I'm going to see if the parental units can help cover the cost of a Tuffy storage box for my birthday in early March. Now for the question...

Given the weight of the Tuffy box (~100 lbs. empty) and gear that will be stored inside what springs would you recomend for the rear? Would this still be considered "minimal cargo loading" if I go with the RR3's? I feel like I'd still be in the RR4/RR3 spring setup but wanted to hear your opinions too. I'll also verify with Steve before placing my order but it's Friday night on a long weekend and hope he's taking it easy (and you guys too!!).

Default RE: March is Mod Madness Month!!!

A guy in my LR club put heavier springs and shocks in the back of his D1 and it rode really bad. The back end was all over the place. It was fine when it was fully loaded, but when he took some stuff out it "walked" over expansion joints on the road.
He replaced them with the same as the front and all was fine.
I am sure that others will pipe in with other advise.
