Anybody here use these?
Do they make the truck ride more ruff?

"Do they make the truck ride more ruff?"
With an empty bed, oh yeah, they sure do!
Got a similar set for the '71 F100, they are very stiff with an unloaded bed. Feels like zreo suspension.
I'll reinstall them for the occasional heavy load, but it's a lot of stress on the upper shock mounts.

I have a set of Monroe Loadleveler coil-over shocks on my 63. Great shocks.

Are they a ruff ride when not hauling a load?BobbyFord wrote:I have a set of Monroe Loadleveler coil-over shocks on my 63. Great shocks.

Re: rear spring assist shocks
IMO, they're not overly rough without a load.
