I see a lot of people swapping out the stock rear springs for National's or Deaver's. What are the benefits???

I have a 2013 SCAB. I found the rear bottomed out pretty easily off-roading in the desert. Not running that fast and the rear would hit the bump stops constantly. So I added the RPG bump stop kit and frame reinforcement. That brought peace of mind but still bottomed easily. I called RPG and they convinced me that their version of the National Springs was very progressive and it would actually improve the ride on the road and get more progressive as they compress.
I'm very happy with the upgrade. With the stock springs when I drove over small transitions in the road, like the transition from the pavement to a bridge overpass, the rear would shudder a bit. Felt like the tires were very over inflated or the rear was very stiff. With the RPG National Springs that's gone.
