bobbed 5 ton springs?

[Blazer1987]

Im looking at some trucks and need some advice. Should I be looking for a truck with 5 ton front springs on the rear or I found another truck with smaller springs. They look like the same amount of leafs but the width of the leafs look smaller? Ive seen pictures of kits for 5 ton bob jobs that show these smaller springs. Does anyone know the weight rating differences? And which way is the best to go with? I also found another one with only 2 thick leafs and air ride system. Ive read air ride is the way to go? But I dont know anything about airide systems. What is everyones takes on 5 ton springs vs. The smaller springs? Do you think it would ride better with smaller springs? Air ride?

A bobbed 5 ton should have atleast 5 ton springs,Not deuce springs.

Air ride is very solid, after all look at all trucks going down the road and you will see 90% is on air bags.....

I also would look for the correct perches top and bottom. No home made stuff.
