Guys I want to know if someone has bought a pair of this and how does the ride feels.

Chevy:

I did last month. I installed them and the ride is better than the factory rear shocks were and I really liked the idea of the Sensa-Tracs giving you an extra 1/2" in height but I did remove them after reading here and consulting with a trusted mechanic friend about how our shock mounts were not designed to hold weight.

I rarely haul or tow anything (nothing much more than a load of mulch, pinestraw or medium size camper) and when I do it's only about twice a year.

I replaced the Sensa-Trac's with some Rancho's and am equally satisfied with the ride, however I still wanted a little more rake back in the truck. I have the DayStar 1" Budget Boost leveling kit installed and last night I installed the ReadyLift 3" rear block kit. I am really pleased with the results.

The ReadyLift block kit gave me an extra inch added back to the rear. The rake I have now is no where near what the factory built in to it though.

Here's a pic ...



If you want a little more lift to the rear and tow or haul things frequently, I would suggest some air bags or an add a leaf.

If you want to simply add a little more height to the rear, I would suggest a block like the ReadyLift because the ReadyLift blocks have the factory bump stop built into them as well as a slight angle to keep your pinion lined up.

You can go with a shackle but after reading and seeing a few done, the shackles seem to shift the rear axle forward and you can visually see that the rear wheel is not centered in the wheel well. The shackles also inhibit the leaf spring from fully flexing or lengthening all the way out.

Hope this helps!

 

Thank You for your answer my good man, I use my truck with my dixon tractor sometimes on the bed, since my primary use for my truck is a my daily driver and I do a lot of highway driving I want a stock feel , in the front Im going to buy the Monroe Reflex I can get them for 68 a piece, My truck is a 04 F150 Lariat CrewCab 4x2, I installed in the back a new set of Hanckocks Dynapro tires and the front end in the last 4 months I installed new lower ball joints, outer tie rods and new end bar links all moogs. All its left its new shocks and aligment and Im done for the year. Since my baby boy will be born by late october that means no more goodies for the truck for sometime

 

Congrats to you and the Misses!!!

 

I used them on my 93 and 97 F-150. They are a pain to get on (pretty much have to have a spring compressor tool) but other than that I liked them. Helped when I put the 4wheeler up in the bed.

 

what would be the negative for running these in our style trucks? what would be the negatives towards this?

 

I saw no negatives what-so-ever other than needing an extra tool to install them.

 

I installed a set in my 04. They run great so far. It did BTW add 2" to the rear.
