anyone tried these?

I know that our Ex's should ride like a truck, as they are build like trucks.

However, these claim to take some of the harsh ride out of leaf springs.

Has anyone tried these? If so, what were your thoughts?

You know what else takes the harshness out for $400? Airbags.

I guess the RAS might help in the same regards...

I just found this to be an interesting product that might have potential. There are threads here where some of the Ford truck owners have tried this product and have liked it, I was just curious in any Ex drivers here had given it a shot.

Thanks for taking a look

IMO, it looks a like a big SUV, so I expect the same standard as SUV or better. But it will cost money to make it ride better than "a truck."

Sulastic reminds me of kelderman suspension. They loosen the fixed spring shackle and add airbags giving it a 2nd stage spring compression.

I think Sulastic will help, but I don't know how much. At least they showed legitimate test and did not make absolute claim.

Only a 3 year warranty on the rubber components? That's a lot of money for only 3 years of guaranteed performance...

Have you thought about using 2008+ rear springs? There is a company that makes brackets specifically relocating those on Excursions or Super duty's.

Check these guys out.

With your drag racing background, they say you spend $10,000 to go 1/10th sec faster. So $400 is pocket change
