These are great questions, and a great idea for a poll. But for any of us to correctly answer you, and more importantly to give you useful advice; you need to let us know what type of driving you do with your truck. Is it an offroad rig at all? If so, what is your percentage for onroad vs. offroad? What type of off-roading do you do? Mud, sand trail-riding, rock crawling, etc... On-road, is it a dailt driver, or just a weekend toy? Is it loaded with a full family, and all of the associated junk that goes along with it, or just you by yourself?

Thank You Its A Daily Driver , Wife Drives It With Kids Too, However I Do Go Offroading On Occasion Mostly When Im Upstate At A Friends Hunt Club ..on Occasion When The Opportunity Arises I Will Go Into Mud Pits Or Go The Beach.. Nothing More Fun Then Spitting Up Dirt Or Mud .so Iwould Say Its A 80% Road Driver 20% Off Road Depends On Location, I Guess I Want A VEHICLE THAT CAN Accomplish Practically Anything IN ITS PATH Without Compromising Safety And Comfort

If it were mine, considering your answers; here's my .02 cents:

EAS replacement coil suspension from Rovers North. The heavy duty one, not standard LRNA springs. Then during the install, add the +1" spring spacers from RTE. Put on a 245/75/16 All-Terrain tire. And replace all of your bushings while your underneath with poly's.

Ended Up Buying Ome Medium Duty Springs,,,,good Ride Sure Beats Bouncing Around

I am an official member of the back pain club..the result of my EAS gooing out and traveling on the bump stops. I recently converted to coil springs and I don't miss EAS one bit. I found a company in tennessee called American Air suspension which has the whole kit for 315.00 plus tax. It was the best investment I ever made. In fact, they will even buy your compressor working or broken and send you a check in the mail. Theey buy their springs from Strutmasters and sell them for considerably less. Their web address is Americanairsuspension.com. Good Luck
