my question is about the HD springs and shocks. my main objective is to get rid of the rear end sag. i like the ride but hate the sag. Will the HD springs and regular shocks eliminate my problem? i live in western NC and there are a lot of hills and curves. i dont want a super stiff ride but would like a little better handling . money is not too much of an object with this project, so i can get what i need.
Also, if i do the rear suspension job is there anything else i should replace while it is torn apart, i.e. bushing etc. i had looked at getting a bigger sway bar but i dont think it would be that noticeable for the work involved.
after this is done ill look into new injectors and some IP work. any suggestions there.?
i have a very cool 300sd and have wondered for some time if my shocks or springs were bad due to the rear end sag and sometimes poor handling. i think that some of the poor handling was due to the S rated tires whcih did not have enough tire wall strength. i now have some H rated tires which seem to be much better.
