Ironside,

First and for most, the truck is beautiful. You have a well thought out build. It really shows, congrats. Secondly, I wanted to know a little about the leaf packs you added. I would like to do some suspension work to my truck, however the wife won't let me if it is going to change the plush ride quality the stock setup has. This is the vehicle of choice we take on our long road trips. I guess my questions is, how does your current setup compare/differ from stock?

Please keep up the good work. I will be moving my new build thread to this area of the forum any help/suggestions you can give would be great. Thanks!

Thanks. As far as the springs they ride a little stiffer than stock as they are designed for trucks that have extra trail gear in the bed. Such as spares, jacks, fuel cans, ect. But they still ride good you just might has a little stiffer ride than stock.

on a bounce scale from 1 to 10 ten being stiff what was stock and now springs?

 

[ironside]

Idk how to put it but like that if the stock is a 5 I would call the wsi springs empty bed at a 6. But I know last night I had 500 lbs in the bed and it rode like a Cadillac.
