my troll is set up for touring. the weight of the vehicle never changes and weighs 3,020 kg I have heard of linear and progressive rate design springs as well as constant and variable rate, what's this all mean? and which would suit my set up?

You have kind of answered your own question.
Constant load coils will be suited best. Progressive rate etc is more so a term use with long flexy coils which aren't really suited to your application. Don't get caught up in the terminology to much.

they're shagged mate, most springs are much of a muchness in the quality units, stay away from fleabay, a few knocks off lately apparently, go a well known brand, pay the reddies & be done with it, look at Old Man Emu, Toughdog, Dollisons, Kings, even Pedders do a really good set, save your sheckles & buy a set of shocks al round, put half a day aside to fit it all, the rear will only take 1 hour for shocks & springs, the front takes longer, go a 2" lift whilst your there as it doesn't cost anymore

in my workshop manual it shows a rubber insulator that sits between spring and spring tower, should these be replaced when fitting new springs?

if they are worn out by all means, if no wear holes then don't bother, they are usually on the front though, never seen them on the rear but that doesn't mean they aren't suppose to have them on the rear

one other thing, I know the rear springs seat into a groove when fitting. does the front springs do the same or can rotate in any position.

from memory they sit in position like the rears, been a spell since I ripped mine out

can't see any seat at the bottom, but when I pull the old springs out I'll check the top. thanks
