Default ride quality ?'s

i was trying to figure out how to improve my ride quality a little bit. Would new shocks make more of a difference, or would it be the springs?

Right now i have an RC 4" lift with 2" coil spacers, and was trying to find a 6" spring to replace them with. Also looking at different shocks, the teraflex 9500's are pretty decent for the price, but quadratec has the fox tera tuned for $822 for a set of 4.

Im not trying to replace the entire lift, just certain parts of it

What is your actual complaint with the ride quality?


Have you had an alignment done recently?

My guess is that your ride is crap because of a 6" 'short arm' lift and low caster, and not so much because of the coils/shocks.

But between new coils and new shocks, I'd go for shocks first.
