Sh!!house ride !

Post by Tommy »

After swapping my heavy steel tray for the light shortened alloy tray, the ride is terrible !

Whats my best option, as its currently running a 3 inch spring lift with extended shackles.

Should I take out a few leafs.

Buy a set of parabolic leafs ( are they any good anyway ?)

Take out all the load barers and put air bags on top of the leafs ?

What have people done ?

What works best ?

Parabolics were quoted at around $880.00 and the extended air bags were $500.00.

Thanks in advance !

Parabolics won't make it any better, if anything they will make it worse, that's if mine were anything to go by. The only time they rode well was when I had my trailer on the back and loaded up with camping gear.
