2003 QX4 Rear Springs

[gdeal]

Towing cap is 5k.
My camper is about 2300.

Took it out for the first time and 734 dollars later have new front struts and rear shocks.
Doesn't bounce like it did but still very very low in rear.
So I'm thinking I need rear springs now too.
I wish the guy put them on when he replaced the shocks but anyway.

What would be good springs to get since I tow a camper trailer from time to time?
OEM or something else(better)?

Maybe something that uses air like these:

Boost it when you need it. The rear end on the r50's have short spring travel and ride pretty rough on big bumps as is. A stiffer set of springs would make that worse I would think.

Yeah those would be great if I had half decent springs but my springs are shot. I need to replace them. Should I just go to an Infiniti dealer for new rear springs?

RockAuto should have Moog replacement springs for cheap, like $35 a pair. See here and here.

[gdeal]

Yeah, RockAuto said they didn't have springs for my suv.
I guess it's off to the dealer I go.
I guess that' the thing about having a ten year old car. Parts.

Huh, odd... as far as I know post-facelift R50s should all use the same springs. IIRC 1996-1999 Pathfinders have springs with a slightly higher (or was it lower? ugh) spring rate but I believe they should still fit.
