Re: Rough ride

These are great riding trucks and their reputation speaks for that. You lightened up the front spring capacity while retaining the stiffer than standard rears. The added angle lightens up the rear to amplify the situation. Did you want to lower the rear? Thise spring will help x2. These trucks already have about a 2" rake and yours must have 4" or maybe more with the HD springs. Get 2" drop rear coils and you'll still have a rake, but everything down 2". The other thing that plays in are the shocks can be making it ride too tight.Might be stiffer than you'd want, especially with softer springs. Did you put shorter shocks on the front?
