I never changed springs on mine. With the shocks and tires I have and properly adjusted tire pressures (I like 40/38), it handles quite acceptably.



I haven't weighed either, but I've moved both around. I'd say the manual is about 60 lbs and the auto is more like 160.
40 PSI and 38 PSI are WAY too high. They should be at ~28-30 PSI. Look inside your fuel fill door.
