ENJOY THE SULASTIC AND HAVE AN SMOOTHER RIDE.

Owners of pick-up trucks know firsthand how harsh the ride can be in their unloaded trucks. Heck, even with a considerable load in the bed, the ride is still not exactly luxurious. Sulastic Rubber Springs to the rescue! The rubber springs from Sulastic are an elastic suspension that reduces (and in many cases completely removes) the vibration and shock caused by the leaf spring suspension, improving safety and overall handling of the vehicle. Sulastic rubber springs are designed for the specific spring rate, damping, and spring speed of each make and model of truck in order to improve ride quality. Sulastic rubber springs do not affect the load-carrying capacity of the truck, and the ride height will remain within 1/4 inch of stock height. 

 

Quality ride improvement in cold & hot weather, load and towing capacity not affected, reduce the impact harshness over potholes & broken pavement and the joints at the concrete roads produce picky noise, this noise its gone when you intall the sulastic.
