Default FT users with the HD springs
Everyone says there FT lift rides better then stock. My 2 door with mforce and HD springs rides 100 times more stiff then the stock suspension. I"m just wondering if this is normal with the hd springs??

Sent you a PM, it will until you add a heavier bumper in front. If you don't plan on that get the standard springs.

Agreed-

If you have the HD springs and dont have a bumper and winch it will ride rough.

well the bumper is on its way (from northridge!) so hope it changes the ride. I have to decide on a winch still!

powerplant only weights a few pounds more than the other winch's

agreed, after the winch was installed the ride smoothed out very nicely

As others said the winch and bumper will help, but with time (couple hundred miles) the springs soften up and seam to flex better as well.
