[6pack] springs - back to stock?

[jimmble at roadrunner.com]

My experience is that it takes some rubber in the suspension to smooth the ride for more comfort. I like to go poly in the top front, and rubber in the lowers. A mix of poly front and rubber rear diff mounts and rubber in the trailing arms.

Ride quality is a personal thing, so YMMV.
