Bumpy Ride

I have a 2006 f150 supercab 4x4 with a front leveling kit, I have noticed that the ride has gotten really bad, I mean you can feel evey little bump in the road. I know its a truck and its not supposed to be a luxury ride but I went for a ride in another 06 f150 and it was a much much smoother ride. Is there anything I can do to make it a smoother ride? Thanks

What air presure are your tires set at I rum my 35s at 35Lbs the other day I set them at 40 was a much harder ride.

Tire pressure for most tires should be 40-45, check that first, because my stock tires are max pressure 80psi... if someone moved you to full pressure, that would hurt. Also, depending on the miles and usage, worn out/broken shocks can hurt too.

I've got a leveling kit on mine and have had no change in the ride. 23,000 miles your shocks are probably shot and the 33's prob sped up the process..From what i hear and read 15,000-20,000 miles tops after that there junk . Get Bilsteins. How many miles were on the other 06 you drove in.

normal tirepressure is 35-40, and you should never see maximum tire pressure for any reason, its just not safe

If you were to get new aftermarket shocks would they last longer than the stock shocks?

mine's doing the same thing. It's an 05 FX4 with 24,800 on it. Shouldn't they be covered under warranty though? I really don't want to drop $150.00 on aftermarket shocks if I can get replacements under warranty that will last another 10,000 at least.
