Trying to achieve a comfortable ride

[wilbur46]

Read more of the FAQs on suspension. I figured out what I needed there.
(1) You can't cut original rear springs. Yours appear to be dropped springs.
Try relocating the rear shock mount (check FAQs) and I used f150 front shocks from Kragen. Rides fine. Take the blocks out! Worst way to lower these trucks.
(2) Original front springs can be cut but more than 1 coil is not going to ride well. Yours look to be cut too much. Find a set of used stock fronts and cut 1 coil. Check the ride with the stock shocks.
If you make (real easy) new top rear shock mounts, you can use the original rears for new fronts. that moves the top up and out which helps with the ride. Stockers form Kragens are cheap and ride well.
I base all this on my el-cheapo experience with my 65LB.
I'm old and broke and will never drive fast enough for disc brakes.
I did use an $80 rebuilt booster/dual cylinder combo tho. Home made $5 booster bracket.
