Going for best ride, what do you guys think of this...

[Seed Guy]

I currently have D25 coils up front so that helped A LOT. I think velvet ride shackles may help in the rear (2500 LB 2002) (comment on the effectiveness of velvet rides... ) And also what shocks do you guys suggest? Stockers now, its time for a change.

Never had them, but do a quick search on the forums. Plenty of good reading on them. Sounds like they work nicely. I've considered them myself.

Velvet Ride

I've had the velvet rides for a few years and love em. They really smooths the ride UNTIL they lock out.



Now, If you want the same smooth ride you got from installing the D25s up front, get the replacement rear leafsprings from Skyjacker. Absolutely transforms the rear ride from a buckboard to a smooth riding truck. Dumps the lift blocks too, which is a good thing.

 

[Seed Guy]

what do the different springs from skyjacker minus the lift blocks due to rear ride height? +/- what?

How is the payload capacity affected by the Skyjacker leaf springs?

They claim 1" but from what I've seen with the front springs installed the truck is level. The truck does squat faster but if you move the spacer up and add the over-load back all is good!



Call them for weight ratings



I'm saving for the T-Rex system.
