Actually mine rides better than my 2013 F350 dually. I agree with Paul 100% about not replacing leaf springs with any high density plastic. They were never designed to ride like a car or modern truck.
One major issue with modern trucks is that they are so softly sprung for a smooth ride while empty or lightly loaded. The overloads on Fords do not make contact until the rear has gone down close to 4" This means your arse is dragging, the light are pointing up into the sky and your steering geometry is messed up.
