Re: ECE drop springs ride quality

I've got the 4/6 drop on a SWB truck and think it's fine as far as ride quality. On the highway it's better than on the city streets around here. Handling and cornering is at least 10 times better with the drop and sway bars front and rear. The only drawback is the roads in Tulsa are rough on any vehicle, and I really notice it in my truck over a vehicle with rear independent suspension. Any dips in the road and I notice I'm trying to hold my posture just right to keep from jarring my neck or back too much. This may be more the fault of the bench seat I've got than the quality of the roads here - but the roads are pretty bad. My seat is out of an '88 full size Chevy truck and I think I could do better there to make the ride better. Tires are 235 70 15's on 8' rallies.
