Do the EE composite leaf springs work??

[alphabets13]

they say that they give you a much smoother ride. do they, or is it just for when hauling? i always felt that my rear didn't absorb bumps that well, would these help? they would be for my 96 xlt. heres a link to them:

Alpha13,
I don't know much about the composite springs but it sounds like you might have a different issue if your truck is riding harshly. My '96 XLT rode smoothly with the stock leaves (77K miles). I've since 'upgraded' to F150 leaves and I still think it rides nice (it just has more lift). Perhaps your shocks are shot or the rubber bushings in the main leaf spring eyes have deteriorated. Remember, the target market for these vehicles is 'suburban weekend warriors' that demand a nice ride. I'd be surprised if some rear suspension parts didn't need repair or replacement.

Just my $0.02 - Dave.

well, it's not the shocks, they are new, but it could be the rubber bushings. i'll check them out. thanks.
