MACKS Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Still have the original front springs on my cl 20,000 multi leaf,when i do have new springs installed should I go with the same or would the tapered springs give me a better ride?

Dirtymilkman Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I have both setups and honestly I can't tell the difference in ride. The taperleaf CONSTANTLY pops, bangs, clunks and loses the rebound clips even after I put new springs and bushings in. The multi leaf never made noise for me. These were both 20k setups in CL's Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40675-multi-leaf-or-tapered-springs-for-96-cl-dump/#findComment-294844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKS Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks Milkman you should know the deal having both,looking to get rid of the bounce like when you hit a dip in the road and front end feels like it wants to launch into outer space,lol Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40675-multi-leaf-or-tapered-springs-for-96-cl-dump/#findComment-294858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtymilkman Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Lol. My taperleaf will do the bounce too. I am pretty sure that's when I lose the rebound clips Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40675-multi-leaf-or-tapered-springs-for-96-cl-dump/#findComment-294912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Sounds like some good info there. As far as on CV Granites I had the multileaf 18k and several friends had the taper leaf 18k, the taper leafs were bad about breaking a leaf on the right side my mutlileaf never had an issue. However in a Granite there was a big rid quality difference from taper to multi in the 18k rating.

rsb502 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Yep CV Granites, set forward, heavy axles, tri axle dumps. The CL has longer springs too so the ride quality should be a little better either way.
