It's a night and day difference. Remember alot of your road feel comes from the back end of the truck. That is one of the biggest improvement's you can do for an HD truck, but it's not always for everyone...

Well I hardly tow but maybe twice a year so I'd like a smooth ride. But I'm
Thinking the full leaf upgrade instead of the mini pack would be better. Sent from my Autoguide iPhone app Last edited by 6.0L Stroker; 01-14-2012 at 12:03 AM. |

The full leaf's will be much smoother then mini pack's. You figure a mini pack is designed to replace and overload spring. It is much softer then an overload by fair but it's still another spring rate added to your stock leaf's. Mini's are for the person that want's a little bit better ride then stock but not totally diminish bed capacity and towing capabilites.
Your like me it sound's like. I rarely tow. The full spring allows the axle full suspension travel and offer's the best on road possible Chuck D |

Here's a couple pics of our full leafs on towing duty last weekend. This is the first time I actually towed anything significant with them. I was actually surprised on how well they held the weight. It is a 2 hour haul to get out to Barstow, where we were testing our race truck. I had complete confidence the whole time. There was no sway, or excessive dipping in the rear.

Looks great sage. I can't wait for my kit to show up. I'm excited to see how those full leafs perform. I drive some country back roads which can be rough and bumpy at times.
