[QUOTE="hweb30, post: 12227087, member: 106412"] well as far as i could tell i have three options 1. leaf springs, cheap, but a very rough ride and will not level itself when i load the bed with a pallet (2000 pounds) of concrete, portland, pool crete, wood chips. All the stuff i carry year round, and certainly wont be the best option fo towing a race car, or other construction equipment, plus its boring, why would i want whats on every other truck thats ever been made? 2. A coil over shock, I could model it like the one up offroad system and would have a very sick ride indeed, it would have insane flexibility and would be very unique, but i would still have a hell of a time with towing. Plus im not ready to deal with all the math of calculatin the perfect shock, driveshaft angles or set the vehicle up to deal with the stress of that kind of flexibility. Plus a one up offroad unit is not suggested for highway usage, so Id feel uncomfortable modeling my truck after a $15,000+ suspension system when they dont want me to travel with it on the interstate 3. Air ride, although its not cheap it offers the most universal options. I can set my truck to ride at 16" while driving or parked, set it up so that as soon as i shut my truck off/unlock it, it lets all air out of system and lowers ~8", with the capability to lower it, i can have an extremely tall truck that can still clear under the drive thru, or my garage or shop or whatever, lastly is towing, i can slam the truck to the ground to back up to my trailor and raise it when im underneath it, and ill be hooked right then and there, i could load any weight amount and the system would always level itself both front to back and left to right, offering the ability to tow basically anything in any position. I chose option 3 because it is clearly the best, i can have all the ride comfort in the world, its practical, and although its not cheap, i believe ill be much happier with that in the long run:read: [/QUOTE]
