Hey Everyone,
I know computers but I don't know trucks...but I'm learnin' . Can someone please tell me what makes my truck ride soooooooo rough. I mean every bump I roll across, I feel it. I like the "truck look" but I don't like the "truck ride". It was cool when It was new but it has gotten progressively worse over the years. I guess the real question I'm asking is, How can I get that Smooth Ride back?

Thanks,
Ubaney

I replaced my shocks just a week ago with IAS Performer Shocks and man they made a huge difference not only in the ride but the handling to.

 

Straight rear axle vehicles with towing capable springs aren't known for a smooth ride, but if the once good ride has degenerated, the first place to look is shocks.

 

When I start thinking that about my truck, I go drive the company Dakota around for awhile. Or sit on a riding mower for awhile, your truck will feel like a Lincoln then.
