Well, I'm definately gonna be replacing my springs anyways, and I may as well step up to 3/4 ton springs. I'm just a little concerned that my ride quality is gonna be really bad. Being a rcsb truck doean't help, but other than the ride I can think of no negatives.

Do you mean the standard Firestone Ride-Rite kit? What kind of modification did you have to do? Thanks!

I have the Firestone kit. I love it! But I'm not lowered. It rides amazing with any kind of weight back there!
