Looking for stock height, but better ride for 72 K10 SWB. Any suggestions? I do not want to lift the truck.

Re: 72 K10 stock height springs
Bigger tires with less air pressure and better shocks. There isn't a "better" stock spring for ride as far as I know.

Re: 72 K10 stock height springs
The problem I ran into was when I swapped out wheels. I run 31x10.5. I had them on 8" rally wheels and it rode "nice" with stock springs. When I picked up a set of 9" wheels and put them on it went from nice to knowing every little bump in the road.

Re: 72 K10 stock height springs
Personally I like bilstien shocks. I’ve run them on a few different things and they always have performed well for me.

Re: 72 K10 stock height springs
I second the Bilsteins if you are willing to spend the money. After 3 sets of shocks on my 2500HD I went to the Bilsteins on it and they have oulasted all the others combined.
