If you have any EDUCATED insight on this subject PLEASE HELP ME!
If you don't have experience, please don't confuse me anymore! lol I'm about to pull my freggin hair out on this deal!
My situation... I had a 2006 F150 4x4 SuperCrew with 2" spacers up front. Rode just fine (7-8 out of 10). I bought a brand new 2013 F150 4x4 super crew. I didn't need it but it came with the "towing package". My truck rode really good pre blocks but once I put the blocks on, my ride quality went to about a 2 out of 10! A 1"-2" lip in the concrete would jar the heck out of my truck! At the ranch, on rough roads, it really sucks! So, I was informed that it was because I had the "heavy duty towing package shocks" on my truck. Taking 2 more inches away from the shock leaves it with basically no movement. Sooo, after asking more questions and such, I had the blocks taken out and put in the new adjustable Bilsteins, on the highest (2") setting. Lets just say I am not impressed...
I'd say my ride quality is now a 3, maaaybe a 4, out of 10. uuuugh!
I know, I know, some of y'all are going to say "Just go back to stock". Well, I'm elbow deep now and its become personal.
Are you guys running a lower setting to get a good ride?
If I got to the next setting (1.75") will it really make a noticeable difference?
Should I put the shocks on the stock height setting and the blocks back in (Maybe matching my 06's setup more closely).
All I want is a lil ol 2" level with decent ride quality...!
Thanks for any help.
