in that case it should do you some good the coils will help some believe it or not

I was looking for a limited slip rear end, but came across a deal. I have 3.08s right now and bought M5OD and rear end with 3.55s for 300. I have the 4.9l in my 89, and my plans the next few weeks are f250 coils, front gabriel shocks, rear coil over shocks bc it sags with 500lbs in the bed, replacing the 3.08 with 3.55, and after its all said and done, install my almost new 31x10.5x15s Goodyear Wrangler Authoritys I bought off Craigslist. And I want to thank everyone on here for breaking my bank account....

I was thinking some 250 springs also. Want it a bit stiffer up front when turning. Either that or find another sway bar to replace the one thats missing on mine

I spend alot of time in the desert on washer board roads and in the mountains off the beaten path. I carry my gear with me always as well as sleep in her (she has a shell/canopy). She is a short bed if that is meaningful. The ride is not so important to me as her well being and capacity to get me out of the tricky situations I get myself into.
The last shocks were standard gabriels from Midas and are completely shot.
I'd like something better but don't have resources for top of the line.
