Yeah.... lots of us have. I used Ground Force leveling springs. A lot of guy use Cobalt SS springs. Goldline makes a leveling spring.... etc. etc. You get the picture, it's a popular mod.

1st time around with goldlines. Now with colbalt SS/SC springs - haul very little. This is how it should have been made in the first place. Much better ride and one less noise.
