I had read in an article a while back that the Tough Country springs had the lowest spring rate of all the mainstream manufactured "kits" this would mean a softer ride, but I think it would also lead to a bit more settling. The lower spring rate is also why a company that deals with rock crawling would recommend them. IMO nitro shocks are not a good choice with the older rigs. The leafs are shorter (less material to absorb the movement) and most do not have sliders. Shocks are 50% of the ride, sitck with a straight hydrolic shock like the RS5000 and the Tough Country's or another "soft ride" spring and you will be much happier with the outcome.
