I know that I am late to this thread, but I admit that I am confused. Wouldn't it be better to just get a half ton pickup?
I understand completely, and I really appreciate all the advice. I think, because I don't do any off-road, and I've already had the front end hit the bump stops on our crappy roads, that I will leave the front coils alone but change the back coils over to soft coils with helper bags. As far as tires, I think I'm going to go to the michelin's, cuz I have had those on other vehicles and they are really good tires. I don't do a lot of off-road, and I just want something that rides a little better
REALLY??If you’re planning on pulling a fifth wheel you need the HD suspension. Quit whining about the 3/4 ton ride.
Oh, and, by the way rock crawlin dude, don't punk out by contacting me on my email (like you did before), put your comments on here where everybody can see. That way every can see how petty you are!REALLY??
I thought the purpose of this forum was to help people with problems and share modifications to make the vehicle better, not make stupid comments and insults. If you want to do that rock crawlin dude, go to fakebook, otherwise keep your comments to yourself.
Respectfully, you need to get a little thicker skin if this is bothering you this much. Everyone here is trying to tell you the same thing, your desire to continue on this path is completely on you, but him basically telling you to suck it up isn't that big a deal.Oh, and, by the way rock crawlin dude, don't punk out by contacting me on my email (like you did before), put your comments on here where everybody can see.

I'm not sure what additional feedback folks here can provide to help you along. 1500 coils are not recommended, nor designed, for the HD trucks. They are going to take a lot of fab work to get them working, and adding any weight to them is gonna have you close to the bumpstops and frankly just isn't safe.
If you want softer rear springs, Thuren makes some, as do others, in stock height. Carli makes +2" springs that are softer. Past that, you can only do so much. I really think the Thuren coils, with bags and daystar cradles, is gonna give you the best unloaded ride, and still be safe to tow.
And if I can offer a bit of feedback. Telling a well respected highly active member of this forum to go to FB because you don't like his comment is not gonna win you a ton of friends as a new guy. Take that for what it's worth. Best of luck on your journey.
Ugly viking, first of all, I haven't been on this thread for months. I got the answers I needed and I left it alone. If this is bothering him that much that he has to insult me privately on my email address and then make another ignorant comment this far into the thread, maybe I'm not the one with a thin skin.Respectfully, you need to get a little thicker skin if this is bothering you this much.

I don’t need to email you, nor do I have your email address. However, if you have some proof of me being petty I would love to see it posted publicly because it’s probably quite entertaining.Oh, and, by the way rock crawlin dude, don't punk out by contacting me on my email (like you did before), put your comments on here where everybody can see.

Yes, really.REALLY??
