Regular cab 1500 4x4 w/ 4+" suspension lift?

[smoothee]

Seems like a lot of guys with the RCSB's are lowered, so I'm wondering for you guys who have at least a 4" suspension lift, how's the ride? Comparable to factory at all?

I know the short wheel base doesn't help matters, and I think I even remember seeing Superlift stating their lift shouldn't be used on regular cabs.

Just wanting to know what setup seems to work best. I have a Rough Country lift, but have switched out pretty much all of the rear components for BDS (3" coils, rear upper control arm relocation brackets, track bar bracket), Bilsteins, and Hellwig sway bar. There was a little play in my lower control arms so I even swapped all four for ***** and giggles. Have tried all three settings on the sway bar, but ride is still far from comfortable.

Seems to be improved on the highway, but riding around the city on any uneven surface at all the truck rocks pretty bad front/back, side/side...

Sorry for the long post here, but any suggestions welcome. I should note I have changed rims/tires and adjusted tire pressures to see if that might be the main culprit...

I agree that the BDS coils are rough and then add a 10 ply tire to the mix. No joke when I would hit bumps in the road my seat belt would lock. I ended up taking the BDS rear coils out and put in 2" coil spacers to help get back some of the factory ride quality back. But in the end that's the price we pay when we alter the factory components.

You can also look me up in the forums under BDS install party. I have before and after measurements of spacers and coils used.
