I have an 01 F-250 with the 5.4L gas motor. I put a 2.5-inch Rough Country leaf spring replacement on the front that actually increased the ride height by 4 inches. To level the truck out I put a 1.5 inch Super Lift "add a leaf" on the rear. Ranch RS5000 shocks are on all four corners as well as Mickey Thompson Classic II's and #### Cepek FC II, 305-70-R16 wheels and tires. The tires are run at 25psi cold. The truck rides like the axles are welded to the frame. Is there anything that can be done to make it ride better? I don't mind replacing the suspension lift if that will help.
Thanks,
Grant

Drive it for a few months. Let the springs break in. That is what you get when you lift a rig. Rougher Ride. If you dont like the ride put the factory stuff back on.

You made it a 4X4 ! Now you gotta deal with it.
There are high end leaf spings with more and thinner leafs in the pack. This gives you more flex, and a somewhat smoother ride. Otherwise you may have to back whence ye came and put all the old stuff back.
You didn't throw out all the old stuff did you ? So many folks make that mistake.
You may want to look at an ORD shackle flip conversion for the rear. that will make it ride a little less like a tank - Me, I love tanks!
Good luck with it!
