Compare the ride?

[BlazerPride]

One of the big selling points, that I've heard from a couple of salesmen, and referenced on this site, is how well the 1500 rides. Because, it uses coil rear springs, like a suburban.

Can anyone comment on how the ride of a 2500 compares to the 1500? I am under the impression, that the 2500 uses leaf springs on the rear?

Thanks.

Yes, we have leaf springs. It is a fairly stiff ride. It rides very nice on the highway, but as I live on a dirt road, it can be very stiff. It feels like riding in a 3/4 ton truck. I was suprised how nice the 1500 ride on the road. All in all, I think it is worth a little harsher off-road ride to have the 2500.
