Re: skyjacker springs or BDS??

I have SuperLift Superride rear packs. 7 leafs and very soft. Sorry I don't know anything about thoes other makes/models.
One way for you to tell wich would be a softer ride is ask each seller exactly how many leafs are in one pack? The more leafs the smoother/softer the ride. Also if friction pads are inbetween each leaf this also adds to a smoother ride.
Hope this helps!

the more leafs the softer the ride? you'd think it would be stiff and hard? (that almost sounds dirty) lol.
