I've pulled the rear suspension out of the truck to re-gear the diff and repair the ravages of time. Since this truck will be a daily driver and also unlikely to carry more than a hundred pounds in the bed, I'd like to improve the over-the-road ride quality. Has anyone played with the number of leafs and specific shocks to get a more passenger car ride? I know the weight distribution differs between truck and car, so an exact duplication probably won't work well, but some combination should improve the ride. Also, has anyone used the poly strips between the leafs to eliminate the frictional damping? And, if so, did it require a change in the shocks to make up for the lost damping from the springs and did they last?
