Default Spring Question

Ok I need help here. I can't decide between Tien H or S Tech's. I carry a lot of stuff in my XB. sytem, passengers etc..... I want better handling and ride and not concerned about a bit more drop... I dont want to bottem out when the XB is loaded..I don't want more body roll than stock..some of these recent posts have concerned me about body roll..Also I do not want change the shocks at this point..so please don't tell me to get Koni's also.....
TIA

Everything you've said says S-techs except for the better ride. You can bottom the front of either. The rear is hard to bottom with the stock rear shock. If the ride is most important, get the H-techs. You can't have it all with any spring.

I have the S.tech w/stock shocks and wheels. Recently went on a camping trip and put all the camping gear in the back. It was pretty loaded down, but didn't bottom out. I took it slow on any big bumps and was ok, but the rear was really low.
