After a year of bottoming out I set them back on the shelf and put the stock shocks back on.

Sorry for the smart comment, just thought you might want to save some time and $$$$

Heavy duty currently on 3 rings from the top , still an improvement on stock especially on the big bumps. Maybe there is better i dont know but a marked improvement, 09 SEUC way too stiff for me stock. 13`` by the way

I have run the 13 inch standard spring 440 for ~4 years.   2-3 rings from the top.  i rarely if ever bottom out alone.  with BSR ~6-7 turns ...   bottom every once in a while with BSR ,  but still like the ride enough that i have no intentions of spending more money on shocks.

i'm 200lbs and was told by a guy at Progressive to go standard.  Wrong!!!  Get the hd.  I have mine at 3.5 turns from the bottom when solo and work well.  Will crank up a couple when my wife is along.  With the standard i bottomed out all the time.
