    King raised Progressive rear spring advice wanted

    So my 110 TD5 Extreme that i have only had for a few weeks is too stiff in the rear.
    Purple +2inch springs with Firestone airbags and TJM Gold shocks.
    I have stripped the car of much weight and will mainly run it on sand / rough roads 2 up with light weekend camping gear.
    It was setup for a Grey Nomad around Aus trip.
    So in all my reading i have come up with the King Springs Progressive rate with the shocks that are on it and keep the airbags if i ever tow of load up the car.
    Anyone have these springs? If so how are they and can anyone see any negatives.

    Thanks

    Tim

    I have the Kings in mine and find them great.
    Mine does have a fully loaded drawer system in it at all times and usually an 80 litre fridge and some other items.
    I have them matched with Bilsteins and Polyairs.
    I would rather put up with it being a bit stiff when unloaded than too soft when loaded.
    The other option that may be for you is to also look at adjustable shocks such as Koni.
