I was looking at the different slam specialties bags and was wondering. The SS7's have a load rating of 2262 lbs. and the SS8's have a load rating of 2821 lbs. Since this is a 3/4 ton big block truck could I use the SS8 instead of the SS7 without any extra modification? Will the SS8's have a stiffer ride? Trying to keep it a 3/4 ton with the option of changing the stance and ride height while also getting a better ride. Dont know if this is asking too much or even possible to do. Right now it rides like a brick with the stock 45 year old coil springs.
