Re: Tuff country question

I'm running the 2" Tough Country EZ ride system on my longbox, front and rear springs. It rides fairly decent for an off the shelf system. I did end up using a 1" block in the rear to level the truck and an on-the-top over load spring kit to help with loads. For a long box, If I could do it again I would do the 3" rear springs. Actually, if someone made a shackle flip kit that netted a 3" lift for the rear I would stay with stock rear springs and add the shackle flip to the rear, then run 2" front springs. The truck would ride level and much smoother.

I don't have greaseable shackles currently but I will absolutely install them when I redo my suspension. They are great and I highly suggest them.
