autosprings..Does it change the ride

Does the leveling kit for our trucks change the ride that much. My friend put one in his truck (Trail Master, i think) and he said his ride got alot harder.
I am considering one for my truck, but i don't want a hard ride that will bounce me out of the truck.
Please let me know what you are using in your truck and how you like the ride.

Thank you

Didnt change my ride...plus, it doesnt affect your current coilover setup since it sits on top of it.

I got the AutoSpring 2.5" and i haven't noticed a difference at all except a much better stance and look to my truck! Ride quality is as good now as it was when I bought it.

Add me to the list! I bought my AS 2.5" right after I bought my truck and it still rides factory smooth. I am now thinking about adding a 1.5" AAL
