Coil springs?

In everyones opinion....who makes the best all around 1.5" lift springs? Have read alot of peoples replies so far...but have came to a conclusion that the old man emu springs are the best overall but some preach downey. Gonna have the money next week so I'm going to get me a pair but am undecided. Also do I have to get longer travel shocks for the back once I get them? I saw the kit from 4 wheel parts that converts the stock shock mount to a hoop style mount and was considering that. So whats everyones input?

Get Downey HDs. They come with everything you need and you will still have some suspension left with junk in the back. Read Me

I was thinking that because it had all the hardware with it. I read you had increased body roll? I guess thats a down side to highway traveling...but with these swampers I aint doing much over 70! I am also getting some hyperflex bushings and redoing everything...so that might help me a little too. thanks!

Yes, but the body roll was fixed by the skyjacker shocks so overall the ride is much better now with no negative aspects

As long as they are highly progresive shocks they will controll the body roll. I am really really glad I did this mod. Every day I get in my truck...
