[QUOTE="lorenzo_spag, post: 1767607, member: 51974"] Hey everyone. I plan this summer to spend some time and money to replace my rear leaf springs and possibly upgrade some other suspension components to improve the overall ride if possible. I had all four Fox factory shocks rebuilt in the past year, but I still feel every little bump in the road and I am wondering if there are any suggestions out there on upgrades that won't break the bank. I've done a fair bit of research and reading through the forums to see what other people have done, but I figured I would make this thread to get any input people might have from experience and update as I go. I have a 2010 Scap 6.2 with 167k miles. I drive about 15k miles a year 99.9% on road (judge me if you must), so I want to make the on road experience as best as possible. Overall in my experience I don't find the Fox shocks, even after rebuilding them, to be that nice overall especially with Michigan's terrible roads. This summer I plan to buy/upgrade New tires (happy to take recommendations on this too, looking for 35s probably) New leaf springs (mine are definitely looking tired especially with a payload, and the most I tow is a 19 foot '84 Ski Nautique Boat once or twice a year) Level the truck Spend an additional 1-2k doing whatever is most recommended to improve on road ride quality Some other unrelated projects I'll be tackling are undercoating the truck and welding a custom chase rack and tire carrier. Any input/suggestions are appreciated, so thanks for your time! [/QUOTE]
