4.5" Springs

I just put on a 4.5" Fabtech lift on my truck, My only problem is it seems to ride a little stiff for what I want. I ran Skyjacker D25 softride springs in my last truck and they rode good. Would it be worth in to put in a set of D45(4.5-5") Skyjacker springs? Any other options????

coilsprings.com.......the SJ springs are straight up junk.

I have a pair in my junk pile that aren't even good as door stops anymore. Rode like crud and I lost about 1.5" of ride height in a year and a half.

CSS (Coil Spring Specialties) is where Don get's his springs made. I pretty sure Sage Carli has his made there also, but not sure about KORE or Sean Lorenz.

Those were the first things to go when I started replacing my Skyjunker stuff. Shocks and springs were shot after about 80K of mostly interstate driving.....

I talked to CSS and they said they can help me out. When I have them made do you having them made 1" taller (5.5" lift ) will cause any problems?
