Deaver springs are a bit more than BDS springs though. I would love to run them on the F-350 down the road. I keep having these god damn engine problems. Actually considering a carb swap now. Stupid EFI is always full of problems!

That's not quite what I meant.

The advantage of the ttb is that the wheels aren't connected to each other. On a solid axle when one wheel hits a pot hole the shock is transferred across the axle and causes the other side to hop as well. This is especially noticeable on the rear axle when going around a corner and either tire hits a bump or pot hole - you will feel the *** end of the truck step out to the side because both wheels hop.

thats for sure but steering stablizers help keep the wheels pointed where you want em when that happens haha...wont do anything for the rear end but oh well
