Message: [QUOTE="Tiha, post: 1549741, member: 33189"] 95 F350. 4x4 My truck rode pretty decent stock. I wanted to lift it. The internet talked me into an RSK. So I did a 4" lift with factory springs. Ride did not change. I spent a lot of time making sure the geometry was correct and making changes but still the ride was never improved over stock. This was before everyone started saying use SD or x code springs. The truck seems to eat up front springs. I am getting some movement in my bushings again and the springs are worn out. Bumps try to slingshot you to the moon. Steering wanders while turning. I want to lower the truck before I get too old to do the work. Try to restore some handling. My dilemma is new OEM springs again or 2" soft ride. Anyone use soft ride ever? have good or bad experience? I love the idea of an extra leaf, improved spring rate and powder coated parts. I believe one of the reasons for lack of improvement with RSk was because of the almost flat spring. A flat spring doesn't really get longer or shorter when it bends so it cannot take full advantage of the rear pivot point. But installing an arched lift spring will be a completely different animal and I wonder if it will actually ride worse, even though it is a "soft ride" spring. No I am not installing 05+ axles, my ride is that good now and my turning radius is fine. Besides this thing is strange enough, don't need more odd things to remember about it. [/QUOTE]
