Re: K10 rides like a wagon.

I know it's not a 67-72, but for what it's worth, I have done quite a bit of research of lifts for my '78. I have talked to numerous truck owners and 4x4 shops, and have ridden in quite a few different trucks. Top brands for both ride quality and strength seem to be SkyJacker, ORD custom springs, and Tuff Country. ORD springs are going to cost a bit more because they are custom. When I do my lift I'm going to either go with them or SkyJacker.

As for how to try and make your current setup have a better ride, best bet is a nice set of shocks. BDS shocks tend to suck, so a nice set of Bilsteins will probably make a noticeable difference.

Whatever you do, don't get Rough Country. Yes they are inexpensive and will give you lift, but you won't ever want to drive it lol.

If your lift is BDS though it's a great brand. I'm a big fan of them on Jeeps and modern IFS trucks. For these older leaf spring trucks they will ride rougher, but the springs are going to be real tough.
