Looking to switch me rear coils i have a 4" lift with 3" coils with bils set at 1.4.
As soon as i hook my small trailer or load the bed the front is way up there. Im wondering if i can switch to the 5" springs without changing a lot of parts.

I know its an option but I don't really want to lower the bils

I think it would be more than just springs. Believe there's other components would have to be changed as well. Might be wrong. Why not just put airbags back there for when you tow?

I agree with Solid State, air bags are a better option to combat the issue you're dealing with. I'd be looking into those before I swap the springs out.

Spoke with zone parts are same for rear. About $200 bucks for new springs. I'm not even sure how much airbags would be? What they work with a lift?

Kinda off topic but I noticed my truck is sitting a bit angled side to side. Driver rear 43" driver and passenger 44"? Anyone else have seen this?

Airbags just assist when you need to tow. Some just fit in your springs and fill up giving you additional ride height for towing. If you do springs your gonna be ass high all the time you aren't towing. As far as the lean goes, has to do with how much gas is in your tank.

Air bags are an option , check out Google for ( airlift 1000 ) .

5" Zone springs are an option as well , you may need longer shocks with those ?
And you'd be ass high all the time unless you set the bills to + 2.8"

You could put a .75" - 1 " TGC rear coil spacer , you wouldn't need longer shocks , the install is simple and they are pretty cheap !
I installed rear coil spacers not long ago . Check out this link of my install.
Hope this helps !
