Yes the Chevy has leaf springs and a sway bar in the rear, as does the Ford.
After compareing mine (Chevy) with my neighbours Ford the differance that I can see is that his has one more leaf spring,but I think the real differance is the sway bar.
Mine is a lot larger and is mounted way differently.
The Ford is mounted a bit away from the rear end housing and is not as wide as the frame. The tips go at an angle to match up with the frame rails. The front is mounted straight up to the frame on a long bolt. It looks a lot more flimsy.
Where as the Chevy is mounted on to the rearend housing, is as wide as the frame and the front is mounted on a long pivet on the frame rail so it can flex more for and aft.
This is my guess why it rides better than a Ford. There is a vast differance between the two sway bars and how they are mounted. That and the extra leaf spring that the Ford has that the Chevy does not.
