    BTW, my service manager (New Holland) wanted me to be fore warned that my ride was going to be "stiffer" due to the additional spring....that my ride would no longer be as "nice" as it currently is without the load.[/QUOTE]

    Your ride with the new springs will be better than with the old ones, not worse. Definately worth having done.

    Depends on what you call "better". I agree, stiffer with less body roll is better. The pre-TSB ride felt "squishy". Post TSB, the truck is much more sure footed over bumps. I feel this is "better". A lot of people think a "better" ride means not feeling the bumps as much. I like to get some feedback of what my vehicle is doing through feel. Maybe that's just me.

    Agree!

    Bit of a chore to convince dealer, but worth it. Customer service was the more persuasive force than me. I beleive they wanted to make me happy - and the did!
