Heavy Duty Coil Springs: How to Increase the Capacity on Your Truck

A great way to increase the load capacity on your truck is to install heavy-duty leaf springs. This is especially helpful for trucks that haul more weight on the front end of the vehicle. Farm equipment, plowing trucks, and recreational vehicles can especially benefit from coil springs.

Coil springs are designed to take on an enormous amount of weight. As the truck picks up additional poundage, the coil springs compress. The design of the coils allows all of the energy from the extra weight to absorb it while still maintaining a relatively smooth ride. So, it would stand to reason that if you were to install heavy-duty coil springs, your vehicle would be able to take on a lot more weight, making it a more efficient work truck.

The heavy-duty coil springs that General Spring, a manufacturing distributor of coil springs and other automotive suspension parts, are sold in pairs. The prices for these pairs range from $129.99 - $339.99 depending on the make, model, and specific hauling needs. The load capacity varies. So, it’s a good idea to know exactly what you plan on utilizing your vehicle for before replacing them with just any kind of coil spring.
