Re: suspension upgrades
I know this thread is very long, but it has the best information about suspension upgrades on the board...from mild to wild.

Re: suspension upgrades
Replacing the bushings throughout the suspension and body mounts will help, and going to polyurethane style.

Re: suspension upgrades
I'm with pro performance with the age of our trucks who knows when the last time somethings have been replaced.

Re: suspension upgrades
If they are stock springs, you are also sitting on quite a few years of sag as well.

Re: suspension upgrades
I rebuilt my 40+ yo suspension ( front and rear)and threw in some drop springs while I was there, also put in a front sway bar and it made a world of difference. I also replaced the bolts and such just in case.

Re: suspension upgrades
I have to say the difference in my '69 after bags/shocks was the side to side roll was amazing. It was like a whole new truck.
