Ride Smoother
by fourwheelininajeep » Tue Jan 25, 2011 8:53 am
I have a 90 4wd with 1 ton springs srw and a 93 2wd srw, I have a feeling the 2wd will ride a lot smoother after I get it done but I am looking for tricks and techniques to get these things riding smoother. My Dads has a soft ride 3 inch lift and it helps but it is still a beast. Am I crazy or can they ride more like a later model 1 ton without that real harsh smash when you hit bumps.
1990 dodge w350 cab and chassis frame single rear wheel 99000 miles with chrome stacks between cab and bed paid 1300 for it after a years worth of work i got to drive it

It won't help any with a coil spring axle but . . .
When the mood strikes me, I'll lift the truck and have the axles in full droop and pressure wash the chit out of the leaf-spring packs. After allowing things to dry, I'll flood the spring-packs with some kind of aerosol lube. Chain lube, high-tac type stuff that has a lot of solvent in it initially so as to get well in between the leafs and then the solvent evaporates leaving the lube.
Works surprisingly well.
