Hey guys so I am looking to improve the ride of my truck a little bit. I have 2" drop shackles on the back. I have been debating on pulling my overload springs out. You can see in the picture they are quite close and that they have been touching. I haven't hauled anything heavy in 6-7 months so I feel like they must be hitting the pads under normal circumstances. Heaviest things I haul are car parts the last of which was a 7.3 motor otherwise it is large but light items. The truck also needs shocks and I think I want the Bilstein 5100s. Is there an issue running these with the drop shackles? I don't want them to be firm all the time. Are there any other shocks that will be better suited for what I use the truck for? I am not expecting a Cadillac ride but if it could ride more like my buddies 16 f250 that would be great.
