Can anyone tell me if there is an easy way to soften the ride in my sierra without paying six to seven hundred for new "Comfort" springs? We only use it to run around town and to go surfing in, but after driving around the roads in Byron one almost needs a trip to the Chiropractor or Dentist after it!

Mate... Look at the number of leaves u have in the spring pack... they may be excessive....
or

Your shackles & bushes may not be working correctly, hence the rough ride (Note: Sierras have never really been known for their comfort)

Then there's your Shocks.... How old & what sort of condition are they in??

Also check your tyre pressures. As a guide, they should be around 20psi.

you can do a good 2 inch lift cheaply. have a read through this: http://www.auszookers.com/index.php?nam ... cle&sid=23
the car is now more comfortable than it ever has been and i would contribute most of that to the OME springs.
