If you want to improve the ride of your truck you are going to have spend some money and get a set of Deavers or Alcans. Then put a King 2.5 shock on there.

I have 64" deavers on the back of my K30 and the ride knight and day.

what ever . he said its just a nice driver . i totaly get full custom but the stuff you listed is 3-4x the budget i think he has planned for it .

my self BDS / TUFF COUNTRY / SKY JACKER soft ride in this order .

i have 1 truck with dbd 8" front 4" rear and 4" flip for the total of 8" its real nice for 8" lift springs off the shelf .

my other 2 trucks are 3" or 4" tuff country hd front and block or flip in the rear to level it out . reason for hd is 1 is big block 454 and other is plow truck so the weight of the plow is why i did the hd front . but even with the plow off it it still rides nice .

all my trucks are k30 trucks also .

off road design has custom springs made for them to there specs and guys love them a lot . there not just off the shelf springs from alcan but built to there years and years of specs from tried and true designs they have perfected .
