Very hard to say. "Too harsh" by whose standards? And, as you noted, shocks may play a bigger part in harshness than springs. I am now so used to my setup that I can't even remember what the truck was like stock, so I have lost my reference point.

If I were buying new springs now, I would probably get the Roush. Rosuh springs are dirt cheap on the Web site right now. www.roushperf.com

 

You're definitely right about the "by whose standards". By most people's standards I guess. I rode in a Hotchkis screw a month or so ago that had just the front and rear springs (stock shocks) with no Hotchkis sways, but the front bump stops hadn't been changed. I didn't think it rode too bad, but I could definitely tell because of the bump stops that it was a little harsh, but other than that I didn't think it was too bad

 

The Roush springs are definately a good deal.

I still would like try out the new Hotchkis springs just see if the difference is noticable then the older ones.

 

Bringing back an old thread to see if anyone has tried out the newer, softer setup yet? Pics would also be nice to see the difference in drop...thanks

 

I bought the TVS, im installing it today...installed the front springs and swaybar...took it out for a drive...feels GREAT so far...gotta go out now and install the rear...

 

I was waiting to hear from you about the build up. Let us know how the full kit feels and try to get some pics as well
