tired of stiff ride

I would use x code ford springs and this hanger kit for the front, and their box kit (pitman arm, swaybar pieces, and drop brackets) and bilsteins and then sell your complete kit to get some money back, or you could reuse your parts and hope to sell just your springs and for the back probably 5 inch rear springs and bilsteins.

I have a 99 superduty with an 8" donahoe (Icon now) lift and bilsteins. Rides like ****! But the wife thinks it's cool so i'm stuck with it.

good to know i guess, is your leaf pack the progressive pack with i think 12 leaves?

broncoguy · Aug 20, 2012

Ya, it's the progressive pack with dual Bilsteins in the front and singles in the rear. You might have better luck with a shorter lift i guess. There is just so much arch in an 8" spring i don't know how anybody could make one ride good.
