how bad is ride with drop coils and springs?
I'm gunna drop my truck here soon and I think I wunna use drop coils for the front and leaf springs for the rear, prolly gunna buy the hotchkis tvs system, so how bad is the ride quality with that tvs? And what are sum good quality shocks that should make up for the horrible ride?

I like my drop coils in the front... I have hangers and shackles out back so I cant really speak on them. My front end is firmer but not what I would classify as "stiff" definitely a more "sporty" feel than a stock height truck... wheels and tires have a lot to do with the handling too though.

I have a hotchkis 2/4 and love it but you can feel it tight. Just take the same streets so you get used to where the pot holes are and avoid going in them....lol. I did load about 600lbs in the bed and hit a pothole and it ate the rear driver bump stop, called hotchkis and they sent me a new set free.I'm using doestech shocks.I waited for a sale they had and got the kit for $500 bucks....

what about the chevy lean? i had 2'' shackles on my last truck and it made it lean like a mother******, this is the main reason i do not want to use shackles and hangers, so i figure if i use the drop leafs, it wont make it lean as much, the guys with the tvs, do ya'll have a mean *** lean also?
