When it comes to comparing the ride quality between the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611 and RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit - Heavy Duty # RAS3611-HD it is likely you won't notice much of a difference at all.

Since the RAS system is adjustable, you can always make changes if you think the ride is a little stiff. It is likely you won't need to though. For that reason, I would choose the # RAS3611-HD for the extra capacity and support with heavier loads.

I have attached a video review of the RAS system for your reference.
