Deaver will custom make you some of the best riding springs you can find. They use more leaves in the packs, but the leaves are much thinnner. This get s you the lift, but also gives a soft ride.

I second the Tuff Country EZ Ride in the 4" lift.

Mine rides very comfortably.

Re: Best ride quality lift

A friend of mine who is way in to lifting trucks won't use anything but Deaver springs. I called them a couple months ago to get a price and they wanted $750 a pair. I couldn't afford them and I haven't made a move on anything yet.

Re: Best ride quality lift

Deaver's are really spendy. Check into Alcan Springs. They're custom built to your truck and how you plan to drive it. Mine came out to about $950 for the fronts and rears total.

Give Alcan a call. I got all 4 spring packs (6" Lift) for $1130 (which included new ubolts, bushings, and shipping)
