Full Version: Bumpy Ride

My unit is well within the weight limitations but I get a pretty bumpy ride. What's the easiest way to smooth it out? Thanks.

Is the suspension stock? Is it a smooth "bumpy" like a spring or rough like a short wheel base truck?

Before I had Timbrens I had airbags and I found that they helped a lot. Almost like added a better shock. (The Timbrens are more rough, but more stable I find.)

It is stock suspension. The ride is smooth but bumpy. I was wondering if I upgraded the shocks if it would have any affect.

I don't have any experience with upgraded shocks but I have heard of people using Rancho's (9000xl 's I believe). They are adjustable for whether you have a camper on or off your truck. Try searching for those and I'm sure something will come up.

One thing I can recommend to everyone is installing a Helwig sway bar. I just put mine in this week and it make a huge difference in the trucks response when driving in the windy conditions. I don't know if you have that problem, but I just thought I'd throw it out there.
