4" lift
 

ok guys the custom lift i built for my ford cummins aint cutting it to bouncy what would be a cheaper 4" lift soft ride for an extremely heavy truck cummins motor and 500lb front bumper?

Re: 4" lift
 

Your best ride would be a D60 with an RSK and SD springs but that's not real cheap.

im not sure, check summitracing.com btw thats a realy nice truck!!!!!

thanks i found a kit threw rough country that is $600 for everything i think i may try unless somewone else has any more input

well the suspension i am actually running is a dodge dana 60 that i converted from a coil over to th eleaf springs but i ended up using f250 springs with an addaleaf and i additionally added 3 more leafs to the combination which is to bouncy

I think a 600 dollar rough country lift kit isn't going to be exactly a smooth ride... There are some things out there that you get what you pay for and I would classify a lift as one of those things...

Re: 4" lift
 

If your running a D60 go to sky manufacturings website and order an RSK and find a set of 350 springs to go under it.

RSK kit?

Rough Country will get you the opposite of a nice ride. When it comes to lifts you really do get what you pay for, a 600 lift will get you stock shocks just extended, blocks for the rear (read axle wrap!). Check out Skyjackers stage II kits. I am running a 6" all spring "soft ride" kit on my ford. it set me bac 1300 4 years ago. All new lift springs front and rear, nitro charged shocks it rides better than most stock new trucks.

reverse shackle kit

ok got ya im not looking to do anything for the rear soft rides are junk in the rear on a 1 ton used for towing and axle wrap aint an issue with traction bars just want them in the front as for shocks already got nitros so shocks arent needed

Hell in that case just get your stock leaf springs recurved

well im still not exactly sure what im looking for all i know is when i hit a bump th etruck is bouncy and im looking to do something about it

reverse shackle, stock leaf springs in the front are setup backwards so every impact from the from preloads and unloads them against the motion of the truck.

so reverse shacles are the way to go then?

what about doing a set of super duty springs with the RSK kit? some reseach ive done some people recomend it?

The absolute best way to go would be to convert the dana 60 to coils. either steal a dodge setup or cut and weld cups on yourself. Or I even think a company makes a kit for it, i want to say Donahue does but im not 100% on that

that i wont do i took the coil spring dana 60 out of my dodge cut all that bull sh*t off and did leaf spring for a reason. i am in fact doing the shacekel reversal with v code sd leafs ive done a ton of reasearch on different sites and thats the best option

Thats funny because my offroad truck is waiting for me to get a ford dana 60 and convert it to coils.

That should provide you with a smoother ride...

thats what im looking for just need to do a bit more reasearch
