Light hauling and rear overload springs?

[Handyman]

I've got a 2017 frontier SV 4x4 that I use mostly for light hauling, tools, gear, occasional landscaping loads. Lately, I've noticed the rear sagging a bit more than I'd like when it's loaded up, and I'm considering adding rear overload springs to stiffen things up without going full airbag setup. I need to know how running load has worked for others

my friend did the same thing and it works. it's more stable when his truck carrying heavy loads

If it's sagging bad, overload springs are a good move, they'll beef up the rear without going all-in on airbags, you could also try helper springs for a smoother ride.

I've got a Frontier too, and I totally relate! Last year, I put in a set of helper springs, and they've made a huge differenc when carrying loads, all while keeping the ride smooth when it's empty. Plus, the installation was a breeze compared to airbags. I'd definitely reccommend this if you find yourself hauling gear regularly.

Agree, adding rear overload springs is a great way to reduce sag and improve stability. They provide extra support under load without the hassle or expense of airbags. While the ride might feel firmer when unloaded, most users find the trade off worth it for better handling and less sag during heavier loads. Go for it

Yep, helper springs are a breeze to install and really boost stability when you're hauling stuff, without making your everyday ride too bumpy
