Help me improve ride on my 6" superlifted 05
Hi Guys,
I am in the process of spending a few bux on my truck and have a set goal in mind.
I have a 6" superlift currently with some blown 5100 bilsteins and worn cooper sst 37s.
The coopers have been a great tire, lasted a long time, but I just ordered some pro comp extreme all terrains. Reason is the truck used to live off road a lot more then it does not. Right now my focus is highway and city ride as this is where it sees most duty.
I want to keep the noise down, and improve the ride best I can.
Obviously I need to get new shocks. I am willing to spend the money on rem res custom valved kings, but I don't know if they are worth the upgrade on my truck.
I am wondering about superlift spring rates, and if the rate is stiff enough to offset any gains by the Kings? What about the rear stock springs with blocks?
What about some monster lazsar traction bars?
Basically I want to improve the ride and control of this truck w/o spending $10k.
For you suspension gurus out there, help me decide what to get in order to have best bang for the buck and turn this dodge into a decent riding truck! It is OK right now, with new shocks am sure it would be fine, but I just want to do my homework before I spend money.
This truck will still go off road, just not as much as it used to.
Thanks a lot for your time.

My coopers are very similar to toyos and i run them at 44psi.
I'm not saying its no good, just want to improve the ride. My shocks are now done, so they don't help, but they have not lasted through the duty my truck put them through, i've had problems with them day 1.
I just want to explore my options before I spend money on parts.
