Re: Improving straight axle front suspension

I'd go right along with what Ogre said along with either rebuilding or having a spring shop rebuild the springs.
I've taken them apart and cleaned them up and then put a bit of grease between the leaves before putting them back together and had them work better.

There are aftermarket springs that might give a smoother ride by their design so that could be a possibility to look into.

Also the Suburbans and panels had front sway bars on them that could be fitted to the pickups to help the handling a bit on the corners.
