Suspension Question

I have a set of Bilstein 5100 Shocks on my truck. I added a 1" leveling kit to the front springs. I think the leveling kit made the ride worse. Now I want to get rid of the leveling kit. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what type of springs I should get. I don't expect the ride to be plush with new springs but I do expect it to be better. Thanks.

When you say made the ride worse, do mean more harsh? I have the Lorenz leveling kit and his replacement coils are available in 2 spring rates, 6% and 23% over the stock spring rate. In my opinion it made the truck ride better, less washy in turns and a more balanced feel (6% coil) The best advise I can give is to check around and see what other kits have in terms of spring rate and go form there, nobody knows what your looking for in ride better than you.

Ditto that. I've got Sean's 23% coils due to my camper being on all the time. Along with his mini-paks and shocks,the truck rides much better than stock.
