yea with heavy duty shocks that would deffinitly create a rough ride

 

There should never be a real reason to remove a spring unless you are looking to lower your vehicle or someone put over load springs on.

Glad you got it fixed!

I installed load assist shocks that had 250lb springs on them that allowed me to carry more weight in the back of my Bravada. They worked very well, but I wish I had gone to air shocks due to the easy deflation for better ride. Even as it was with the coil over shocks, it wasn't that bad of a ride. It's a truck afterall. The Bravada suspension was a bit softer than Blazer's or Jimmy's.

 

another thing you can do if you really want to soften the ride and still be able to tow with a level ride is helper bags
