Well im pretty sure its not the tires they are just those damn general grabbers ive run the same ones on other trucks, but i should give alittle more background here this truck has been apart for years i sandblasted and painted the frame slapped it together and have been driving it. All the bushings on this truck are ****** other then shocks I havnt done much to the suspension the front shocks helped quite a bit but the thing is very rough still.
If you are using it for 3/4 ton truck stuff, then you are mostly stuck with high spring rate unless you put air bags on. If you just daily it and offroad with it, then just get stock K10 56" rear springs and swap them out. You will be time ahead with trying to replace stock bushings in your old springs and the ride will be better. I think a set of stock K10 56" springs is only about $200 for a set. Another option if you also want to put a small lift on it is skyjacker or Tuff Country EZ ride springs. They have significantly lower spring rates than the 3/4 ton springs, even the EZ ride HD ones.

No air bags radio, and no I probly wont work this truck too hard other then occasional light towing, id like to fully restore it 2 tone blue and silver someday. I had a c10 for years, didnt ride like a new truck but this is ridiculous. Anyways i assume K10 leafs bolt right on? If i remember right frames are pretty much the same. And if i do k10 rears, do i have to change to k10 fronts?
There is no difference between K10 and K20 other than springs and axles. K10 could have either 52" OR 56" springs though, while K20 ONLY had 56" springs. You can mix and match front/rear springs all you want. If you don't have a high GVWR option or heavy duty front spring option truck, you likely already have the same front springs that would have come on a K10 anyways.
If you just want stock height, stay with stock springs. Here is a set of stock 56" V20 springs. They are the lighter capacity, so should ride better.
Ah i see now 6 1/4 ARCH rise is/was confusing me all springs have arch rise doesnt mean 6 inch lift think i get it now.
