Welcome to FTE forums.
I've heard of it. It's called a reverse shackle kit. It won't help your stiff ride, but may improve your steering and handling.
Why don't you take some time to tell us some more about how your truck is set up, is it stock or modified? Then you will be able to get some more accurate information on how to fix your ride.

there was a guy who built his own shackle reverse kit a few weeks ago and posted pic and what not and he did say it helped his ride a bit. i have not seen these kits for sale but i am sure they are out there.
