Leaf Springs..

[ptrparker]

I need advice on what are the best leaf springs that keep a smooth ride..
I would like to go 2/2.5 lift max and run 33" tires.. My leafs need to be replaced and I figure if I'm taking things apart for tie rod ends etc., might as well do springs. I would like them to last a long time.

86 Silverado currently have 31's on stock height.
I searched and found plenty of info on 4" lifts..
I don't want to run blocks..

off the shelf = tuff country .

NOT = rough country = real stiff dump truck .

and nothing wrong with blocks in the rear . but if you wish you can do leafs in the back .

call www.offroaddesign.com these guys will hook you up with what you need after asking you a few questions. and there a vendor here.

This/\. Or check out skyjacker or bds I hear people love their lower lifts ride quality is supposed to be good.

I have the Tuff Country EZ rides and I was impressed with the ride quality. Firm, but not punishing.

I have Rough Country and the name says it all. Guess I can't complain. They should rename it "You're Gonna Hate This Sh$t" if they wanted to be completely forward.

Assuming your avatar is your ride, what soft top is that?

If your not worried about price I like national springs.

Tuff Country FTW. Very nice ride, definitely comparable to factory.

They offer 100 % return , why did you keep the Rough Country ? I have been on phone with them all week , I am going to try their 4 in system with rear springs . If I hate it , guess I wasted my time putting it on ? Take it off and get my money back .

I've heard RC's 2 1/2" lifts aren't as stiff. No personal experience with that tho....
