Getting the Wheeling Fever

I just did a spring over on my buddy's 93 this weekend. He was wondering what would make it a little better of a ride. He has stock springs, he was thinking of doing a 3 inch spring, but he wants a smoother ride, like not so stiff. I didnt think you could get much less stiff than a stock spring. The springs are pretty beat, but if anyone has some advice it would help. Thanks alot

Body Damage is Cool

I don't think that adding a 3 inch spring lift to a SOA is going to improve the ride. If he used the stock springs for the SOA, the ride should be about the same as it was before the SOA conversion.

His shocks may be too stiff. Check to make sure th4 shocks are good, and that they are the proper length for the new setup.
