OEM CRD Rear Spring Rate

I have seen all of the other spring rates listed. Are the Rear springs on the CRD the same springs as the Rear on the gassers? I know stock gasser fronts are 310 lb springs. Are the rear stock springs also 310?

LTT I've been down that road :lol:

Yes the rears are the same! Front CRDs are 410 OME HDs are 400. Stock rear gassers and CRDs the same

I would think the rear would have a lower spring rate, because there is not as much weight.

I believe the rear OME 948's(HD coils) is about 200lbs spring rate.

Sorry for any confusion!As far as the spring rate? Not sure of the actual rate. CRD rear coils are the same as the gassers. No difference.

Rear OEM KJ gasser coils only rate at 150 lbs. I believe.

That makes sense. If OME HD rear springs are 200, 150 sounds about right for the OEM.

I wasn't so much concerned about the actual spring rate. I was just curious if the CRD had a heavier rear spring. Didn't think they would be different. But thought I would ask to see.

Thanks for all the input!
