Getting the Wheeling Fever

My gen1 has a coil rear end.
I put McShocks on it recently and it helped, but it's still too bouncy for me.
I was looking for those twist-in coil spring things, or the in the coil air bags.
Any suggestions, or if there is a used pair of airbags, failed or upgraded solutions welcomed.

GenII coils will help - they are variable rate, compared to the singles in the genI. Anything from 92 up should work... will also give you a little lift too, since they don't sag as much. As far as air bags, I've been researching this lately too, and found this thread helpful...

Gen2 coils on a gen1 are way better than stock gen1. KYB shocks are stiffer than some others. You can also get helper air bags that fit into the rear coils.
I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.
