rear suspension problem?

[Metallica98]

hitting bumps at around 15 mph my rear suspension sounds like it really hits hard, especially when i have people sitting in the rear seats. does anyone have an suggestions on what the problem may be or how to fix it?

I had the same issue, especially when towing stuff. Turns out the stock springs on our early-gen R50s are just too weak. I installed a kit of air helper springs in the rear coils for about $80. Here's XPLORX4's installation instructions: http://xplorx4.com/pathfinder/upgrades/airlift/

I've also heard of installing heavy duty coils, but I can't find a link to them at the moment.

would those air helper springs make the *** end any higher than it already is? Are they easy to install?

I had the same problem on my old 95 pathfinder and i put Toyota tundra front springs in the rear of my path and it was all good...i dont remember what year tundra it was..i'll call my friend and ask him cause hes the one that told me about it...he worked at Toyota and told me about this..i know alot of people are gonna think its a bad idea but i was really happy with it...

that was another thing i was gonna ask, if i could just put something from another SUV from a junkyard or something to save some cash
