Looking to replace rear leaf springs in my 1500. Who makes a good quiet leaf pack? My truck is not lifted and tow twice a year. I imagine the 1705# spring has a better ride than the 2200#

If I get ride of the lift block by is the ride smoother?

Thanks in Advance,
Tony

I don’t think the lift block affects ride very much. It mainly just causes axle wrap when you get on the gas hard. Unless you’re towing a lot of weight, the 1705 pound springs would definitely give the softest ride. If you really want to get ride of blocks, you’ll need to do a shackle flip. Softer ride, but less weight capacity that way.
