skyjacker springs or BDS??
 
im buying rear springs for my 72 blazer with a 6 inch lift. the skyjacker springs are $730 and BDS springs are $540. are the skyjackers worth the extra 200 bucks? are they really soft ride springs? i need to order them tomorrow and any advice would be great.. thanx

I have SuperLift Superride rear packs. 7 leafs and very soft. Sorry I don't know anything about thoes other makes/models.
One way for you to tell wich would be a softer ride is ask each seller exactly how many leafs are in one pack? The more leafs the smoother/softer the ride. Also if friction pads are inbetween each leaf this also adds to a smoother ride.
Hope this helps!

the more leafs the softer the ride? you'd think it would be stiff and hard? (that almost sounds dirty) lol.

hahaha the packs with less leafs are indavidually stiffer to support the same wieght more less stiff leafs will carry. You dig?
