I have a 05 Scab FX4 with a 5 1/2 foot bed which means I have a short wheelbase. Is the short wheelbase the reason why my truck is so choppy? Or, is it because I have the off-road package and therefore the suspension is tight?

If the suspension is too tight, then is there a solution to this setup?

I would greatly use the feedback.

Thanks

 

answered your own question its the set up you have off road would half to remove that style coilover and I will guess you have large blocks in the back too.

 

When first got my FX4 I was surprised at how stiff it rode also. I believe the FX4s have different shocks than the other 4x4 models which are a little stiffer, however the coil springs and blocks are the same on all 4x4s.

Some aftermarket shocks should do the trick.

 

I agree.

 

So are you saying that the springs and blocks on my '04 scab, 8' box, 4x4 with 8,000 GVWR F150 is the same as all other 4x4's? This is something I have been wondering about but nobody seems to know the answer to. I would like to soften the ride if possible but don't know if there is anything I can do.

Figgy

 

I believe your package uses stiffer springs. You do have the package that includes the 7 lug wheels, right?
