Yeah, springs clamps really hurt your ride quality. I've had 2 sets of spring clamps on my truck at one time and it was horrible.

That's odd; I didn't really notice much of a difference when I put mine on. I actually thought the ride felt BETTER. The *** end does seem to like to bounce around more though. I just figured it was due to my 20's with a stiff sidewall and lower profile. Oh well........

Seriously, how long did they take to put on? You can just slap em on at the track, then pull em off for the Daily Drivin'

mostly for wheel hop.
i know they didn't help me for traction.
the ride was ok with a 2in drop in the rear but stiffer for sure.
it lowers the truck anywheres from 1/2 to 3/4".
