The alcans definately made a difference. The small bumps i don't even feel them anymore, its the medium-big dips (and speed bumps) that still bounce the heck out of the truck. It seems after about 1-2" of travel the springs just have no movement left or they are too high a spring rate (by the butt-o-meter). I have some parabolic fronts i am planning on installing next week and probably going 63" long leafs in the rear sometime this summer. If i feel spendy next year i may try a coil setup in the front but i really don't want to spend that kind of cash.
I also noticed the seat is a big culprit of the bouncy ride (think trampoline or bouncy house), I temporarily installed a 40/20/40 setup out of an 06? chev and i liked it alot better. I just need some time to fab up the mount because it is somewhat involved due to integral seatbelts on the new seats.
