I always thought that my Rough Country EZ Ride springs rode fairly nice, but there is no comparison in ride quality to BDS springs. My friend just put some 4" lift springs on the front of his '03 2500HD and they ride great! Now I have to save up and get some... :D
 
Rough Country EZ Rides, huh? :haha: Tuff Country makes EZ Rides, there's nothing EZ about the way Rough Country springs ride.
 
I don't think that RC actually claims that their springs are "EZ Ride", but they are tapered and have the teflon pads. The RC springs are rough though compared to the BDS springs, I guess that Rough Country get's it's name honestly! :D

If you liked the BDS springs try some custom Alcon springs....

Alcans...sitting in the closet. Can't wait to get them under the truck now! :xmas:

Just because it's a truck doesn't mean it has to ride like a dump truck.

'03 2500HDs have torsion bars. Did he do a SAS?

Tuff County sells EZ Ride springs, Rough Country does not, that was the point of my post.

Yep, hi pinion D60 from a Ford. The 2500HD has only 29,??? miles (yep, still under warranty!) and he has bent a tie rod end 3 times. It wasn't just a little bent; one tire still was straight and the other was turned until it hit the steering stop. He used 4" lift springs and the brackets gave about 3" of lift, so now it is about 7" higher than stock. He doesn't have a front driveshaft yet though. On these trucks they have some goofy tranfer case with a slip yoke for the front driveshaft so he needs to get a slip yoke eliminator to be able to run a flange style yoke and a cv shaft. He is going to run 36-14.50 swampers, they should be in today. Now he has some cool stuff to sell on ebay (old IFS stuff) :D
