i currently have a Terra Firma 2" HD lift. wasn't a terrible ride but then i grew up driving F250s for work. which means i'm used to the stiffness and bounce of HD setups. but, i assume there are HD setups that ride better than Terra Firma.

i drive the D2 daily and occasionally pull a trailer loaded with tools and other materials. pretty sure this is why the right rear shock is leaking oil. the rear springs are starting to sag a little, as well.

i plan on keeping this '04 and daily driving it for work and pleasure for the next several years, so, i'm looking for recommendations for springs and shocks (kits are fine) that will keep me 2" higher than stock, be rated for pulling a trailer and ride better than the Terra Firmas. i do off road occasionally and i'm planning a trip out west in the next couple of years.

the D2 has 31" tires, a steel winch bumper on the front and will be getting a steel bumper on the rear soon.

thanks,

 

I'd go RTE Springs and TF shocks for the money are pretty good. I find the Fox shocks to be very stiff on my d2 on 32s with stock bumpers in the front but a metal bumper + winch might be just right for them. They do nicely in the rear with a little weight in the back of the truck.
