I didn't think you would! I'm currently rebuilding a kingpin for my F250. And no, I don't want to trade it.

Im not some whiney yuppy that has no idea what I own. I bought the truck to work. I know what it is I just wondered about the sd springs since I am doing the RSK anyway.
I dont know... you sound pretty whiney. you asked how to smooth out your ride. I offered a no cost idea. at the very least you ought to try it out. its worked for me. or on second thought. do all the spring swapping you want i guess.
