Default Coil spring question about selection

I noticed my drivers side spring looks collapsed and has a bow in it. When i look online there are 2 different types, heavy duty and standard and they both say for a 96'' bed. Does the bed size really matter and will the heavy duty ride rougher or add more height to the front? Im going to add a level kit as well while ive got it apart so i dont know if that should matter when choosing HD or standard. Ive tried to search this topic but found no answer so i figured someone would know. Thanks in advance.

Yes HD will ride rougher. Unless ur putting a snow plow or something of the like on just go with ur standard coil.

Nope, the HD spring came stock on the HD 7-lug trucks all the others had the standard spring stock. Both springs will fit on ur truck tho.
