ZR2 Dobinsons Rear Spring Upgrade

[Hitchcrack]

Just wanted to give some feedback for those who might be carrying a constant weight and the suspension is sagging. We installed a set of the dobinsons rear springs L09-8309 with the 8310 add a leaf for this ZR2 and it really picked up the rear end and carry's the weight well. We also have a set of airbags with an onboard ARB air compressor for when he is towing his trailer but air bags aren't needed for daily driving carrying this constant load.

Wow, talk about a short bed.

Can you give more insight into how much weight the Dobson upgrade is designed for?

I misspoke in my original post, these are 8310 springs with the 8311 add a leaf. The 8310 gives you about 1" of lift with a constant load capacity of 330-660 lbs. The 8311 add a leaf increases that constant load to 660-1200 lbs. With these springs the spacer blocks are removed and the leaf sits right on the axle.

What’s the total of the weight you carrying?

Quick math says about 800ish pounds of constant weight.
