Yeah, I think 'smoother' is subjective.

Having switched from the base (US) monoleafs to global (softer) multileafs with some basic Eibach shocks (stiffer dampening) and progressive Sumo bumpstops on my 2WD Lariat I can say the improvements in daily and travel/towing ride has been noticeably more comfortable. I've towed a medium sized fully loaded U haul trailer with no perceptible squat although I've been warned to expectorant if I approach maximum towing capacity. Keep in mind 4x4 Tremors have a slightly lower tow rating.

On a trail suspension travel is far more important. From what I've casually read here (until @Frenchy weighs in regarding OME equipment) a set of appropriate Deaver springs in the rear with matched Fox or reservoir equipped Eibachs (both require maintenance) would be about optimal for suspension travel while offering the ride benefits of multileafs.

I gained height in the rear with my mods and I'm sure those mods would add even more. The more complete solution would also mean some work up front.

It might get you what you're looking for?

The lower to rating on tremor package his news to me. Maybe you can clarify what I missed:

TREMOR RATING: 7500 pounds
(isn’t that the same for all the others?)

I do have the towing package, and maybe that’s where the difference comes in is, if you don’t have one? Otherwise, it might be just incorrect info that you have. But I’m open minded for sure, and I wanna know the right answer for sure!

Will you let me know what your understanding is on the rating side?

Does not matter if it is Tremor or.not. without tow package is 3000(or 3500. Can't quite remember) and towing package is 7500.

That’s exactly what I thought. I was just trying to correct the guy above who said the tremor had a lower tow rating and I was trying to figure out how that could be, knowing it was 7500 that I was going off of and was official.

Thanks for reiterating!! it’s way too easy to spread incorrect information accidentally, so I was correcting the tremor opinion of one gentleman, letting him know there is no difference whether you have that or not.

At the same time, I’m trying not to put my foot in my mouth and learn that in some instance, there is a difference. Maybe I’m too careful to avoid saying the wrong thing but now it’s kind of the reason for that particular question.

I think he only main difference between the two is the actual tow bar that's added on the tow package. For the most part everything else is really the same.

All in all sounds about right to me. And we are just talking about towing related, right?

Good discussion by the way! Hope you’re having a great evening

My Ranger has leaf springs, they are stock and are still working fine. See, I stayed on topic.
P.S. Has anyone heard from Dave (AZScorpion)?
Man, I miss that guy.
