Here's an article on the skyjacker softride suspensions: http://www.truckworld.com/How-To-Tec...uspension.html

It's a 6" lift on a 72 truck, but good info.

I'm running 8" Skyjacker softride springs on the front of my truck. It rides better than stock but still rides like a truck. I'm happy with them.
