Choosing the right suspension for your 1979 Mini pickup's rough Tennessee roads boils down to a classic debate: new rubber cones vs. comfort-oriented coil springs. While cones offer a progressive feel, they can transmit harshness on big bumps. For maximum smoothness and bump absorption, coil springs are generally superior. They provide a more linear, compliant ride, better isolating you from potholes.

Pairing either with Hi-Los for adjustable height and adjustable shocks to fine-tune damping is crucial. Given your priority for comfort over preserving original feel, quality coil springs are likely your best bet for a noticeably smoother ride.    Visit MyBKExperience - Burger King Survey
