Which leaf springs to buy

What are some lift springs out there that still have decent ride quality. i have a 4 or 6 inch procomp lift and it rides like a tank. what lifts are you guys running?

Donahoe all the way! Nearly the most expensive, but utmost in quality and ride. No sagging guaranteed.

anyone have any experience with superlift leaf springs? i heard good things about them back when i had my jeep, but i dont know how they are on full size trucks. the donahoe springs are definitely pricey. $720 for just a set of 6" fronts! the superlift 6" springs are only $470 for the pair.

I have superlift springs up front and procomp in the rear. The superlifts are a little stiffer than skyjacker or procomp but i dont like a bounce/or body roll in a lifted truck. They dont sag much not quite an inch in over 40K. They dont squeak which is common in a cheaper spring. If i had the money sure Donahue, but im not dissapointed with the superlift package, especailly for the money. Its all in what you can afford.

FYI, DR dropped their pricing to $590 per pair of leaf springs......unless that $720 price including shipping.



Superlift Springs ride well, quality is so, so IMO......at least a few people on the forums have had them crack. I believe they are still made in India.
