I love them only because they keep there height and come over arched.. (my 12" springs were 13") not fond of there spring eye/ bushing design --*smaller then factory sized bushings) other suspensions are softer for better ride. but id like to keep a higher spring rate

any 12" will keep its ride height.. I had 12's up front and they didnt sag...
I have superlift softrides 6" up front... just with the weight of my truck it settles to 5" and yes they are new... I dont think they ride that rough....
I would go with the others that people recommend unless they are more expensive.. I only say that as I have never had other leafs and may not know the difference... also I own Hawgs so that shows you I dont go for the norm...

6" Superlift flex shots
I have the regular 6" Super lift springs in mine and they will flex decently. What kinda terrain do you run? How much steet use? IMO if you run a winch and/or big block and do harder wheelin then you need the higher spring rate or get used to wearing out the softer brands and replacing them every couple/few years. I don't mind my lift. I like the way it feels on the road and I know it will flex if it has to. Now I may raise a tire here and there where others won't but usualy this is a non issue. Being open in front it does suck if a tire leaves the ground.
Here are some pics from WITC shortly after I got the lift on. This is with 33" tires and sway bar disconnected. The fenders were trimmed just slightly but they still rubbed. There rear in these pics was a 3.5" block and a 2" add a leaf.

the first lift I put on my truck was a 6" pro comp. the 8" superlift springs I have now flex better. I bought what I have used so if they were stiff I didn't experience it.

superlift makes 2 sets of springs for our trucks, the heavy duty and superide series.
i would go with the superide series.
