    Has anyone found currently-available parabolic springs for series rovers that don't flatten out/sag after a few years of daily use yet?

    The parabolics RN currently sells are UK made, we have had good success with them for some time now.

    I sprayed a few cans of silicone lube into my rusty leaf packs over the course of 1000 miles or so and they have 100% eased up. MIght be worth a shot.

    Also, you might look into softer seats? I know between the two series rigs I drive, one has much softer seats and is way more comfortable!!!!

    I find that having seat four point seat belt harnesses tightened down tight makes a huge difference. If you move as part of the truck it isn't as jarring.
