I will answer your question after you answer mine.
Why do you want stiffer springs?
I know what your going to say, but I have a point!

I suggest a dual rate spring for backyard bashing.

But if you just want a good all-around heavy spring then the Trinity Blues are nice. You could get their black one's but you will end up with a T-Maxx-Pogo-Stick and your handling will head south on ya. These springs will jack your truck up to the fullest causing your truck to roll over more in the tight turns. Very unstable handling. Heavier springs will also make you bounce very sporadically over the small stuff, hence, my recomendation of the dual rate springs.

Heavier shock oil is really your best friend here. Heavier shock dampening will help soak up them jumps. Anything in the 60 - 80 weight is good territory to be in for a backyard basher.

well, what I was aiming for was that that can be fixed with shock oil! I mean springs will help with the push the car back up after impact but there not made to hold all the weight of the car. I would get some 70 weight oil and slap that into your shocks! problem solved!
ARE
If you want really stiff suspention go with 80 weight oil!

On my sportmaxx I use trinity blue on the 4 rear shock and the 2 outer front shocks and the stock red springs on the front inside. Its a good set-up for me.
