Surprised no one brought up the rear air bag setup off an ambulance.
A little farther than I want to go, but a good option for others.

Better ride out of the rear suspension

when i get in my f450 with it's custom extended wheel base it's like riding in a caddy compared to the short wheel based f250 4wd w/ drw convert.
it lets me know iv got to fix the rear leafs.i only added one main but iv got too many overloads so they sit right on the aux brackets full time.it hauls a load perfect as she doesn't even sag when loaded which is important with the TTB and tire ware for hauling all the time,but iv got to re-arch the aux springs,remove a leaf,or move their brackets up a bit so i can at least let the mains spring an 1" or so.i bet that will make all the difference.it's pretty bad when an f450 rides like a caddy in comparison lol.
it kinda make me wonder just how much it costs to have a truck extended like they did to log truck.i wouldn't mind having the 250 stretched out back a couple feet.adding to the dump bed wouldn't be too hard after.a bit longer wb and 12' bed wouldn't hurt my feelings any.really is amazing how much the longer wb improves ride quality.

Drives really slow
These shackles just moved to the top of my todo list. I've been working on making the van ride smother, new engine mounts, tranny mount, body mounts, and now these. Can't wait to see how they ride.
All the reviews I can find on them say they work great. The only bad thing i've read is if you have a jacked up truck with non stock springs, don't have any of that so hopefully all good.
