Swapping 03 to 08 suspension?

[superdutyfarmer]

I have heard of swapping 05 and up suspension onto older trucks and heard good things about it. Here's the kicker. When we played with an 03 6.0 pulling truck we had no problems with front end hop, had some power hop but got that pretty much taken out after playing with air pressure and truck setup. ( Suspension stops mainly) Now with my 08 we are battling the age old front end hop situation. We have an 03 6.0 at our disposal and were wondering if anybody had ever swapped back to a leafspring suspension on newer trucks. Lots of people seem to have their own ideas on how to stop the hop but I won't lie kinda out of money to spend on this thing and dont want to keep spending more money on a 4 link setup or 3 link setup or dual shock hoops with custom shocks with no garuntees. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated. Thanks Rodney

4 link it and call it a day...look at rudys 2.6 puller, it was battling the same thing...4 link fixed it

is rudy's the black extended cab short bed? I saw it pull a couple times and idk when he put the 4 link on there but I seen the home made one that he had made and it still hopped like a kangaru
