    Hi John

    Info nicked from the RM website.

    Rear Springs 73590: Three Leaf
    73590 are standard duty three leaf parabolic springs. If you often load your ‘86′ or ‘88′ to the maximum rated load use these springs. Also use 73590 on stock ‘107′ and ‘109′ utility models and pickups with factory hard tops, pickup cabs, and soft tops.

    Spring rate 288 lb/in.

    On ‘86′ and ‘88′ models the 73590 spring is the correct choice if you have a Safari roof, use a roof rack, or tow a heavy trailer.
    Do not use the 73590 if your standard ‘109′ has a heavy custom camper conversion or other heavy modification to the load area. The 73591 four leaf spring is a better choice in such applications.

    Rear Springs 73591: Four Leaf
    73591 are heavy duty four leaf rear springs used on ‘107′ and ‘109′ models for service where heavy loading is normal. These springs are usually fitted to five door “Safari” models. If you plan an expedition or have fitted a camper conversion on your regular ‘109′ use these springs.
