Rides Like SH*T

[muddinfordtrucks]

Hey ive got an o7 250 with a rough country 6inch lift on it. its just a loud and rough lift. I was wondering if anyone has swapped out the coils and used some icon coils? How do these coils ride. Also i have the stock rough country shocks and was wonderin how much of a difference a set of the monotube bilstiens would make? Any help be great thanks

Bilsteins will make a big difference in how your truck rides. I'd do that first. If you still aren't happy find a progressive rate spring to swap in.

What about Fox and King. I would run those over the Bils if cost wasn't an issue.

Mainly for looks. I have ran them all. For the price you can't beat the billy's.

Your truck will also ride better with 4 link arms...

the four link bars help with ride?

[muddinfordtrucks]

also which bilstiens do you recomend. Are the 100 dollar ones any good or is it worth it to spend more on the reserviors? also what valving is best for ride quality?

you dont need resivior shocks for the street. i run bilsteins valved by icon and they ride great. they are also paired with their sprigs. i would personally go with the icon shocks

I would agree with first switching to an Icon or Bilstein shock, (valved specifically for the SD).

If you are looking for further improvement, then I'd look into swapping coils and/or changing up your rear lift depending on what you currently have in the rear.
