There are better springs out there. Tuff Country or Skyjacker softrides are better springs with softer spring rates than rough country stuff.

Just about anything will ride better than worn out springs that are on a negative arch and hitting the bumpstops with ease. If Rough country springs are all you can afford they will do the job. If you can afford a little more spend it now so you don't have to do it again later like I'm going to.

I will say my addition of Bilstein shocks made a world of difference on how my truck rides even with the rough country springs up front. But then again they better. The 4 shocks cost me more than the complete Rough Country lift kit did. My kit was complete with front springs, rear blocks, 4 shocks and the raised steering arm.

To each their own, I guess I'm just one of few who expect an old truck to ride rough!
