Soften the ride????

[4x4grey88]

I am wondering if there are some tricks to soften out the ride of our Superduty's

I recently (this year) purchased a 2003, diesel crew cab, with a 8' bed and while driving along the hwy (concrete style) the truck bounces a lot. I put a shell on the bed and it helped a lot. But I am looking for a way to soften up the ride. When I drive along the asphalt roads no problems only concrete ones (which they have a lot of in California).

I am thinking about replacing the shocks. The truck is pretty much stock, and the only thing that was changed in the suspension was a leveling kit on the front

From what I read, Bilstein shocks are the way to go. Lots of members here have them I'm sure they will chime in. I have Bilsteins on my Christmas list.

well, I'm not going to give a brand recommendation, but I will say, that at 140k miles, the OE dampers are pretty much toast...

Get the Bilstein Shocks. They will improve your ride a LOT! I got mine at Bilstein Shocks, Edelbrock Shocks and more: eShocks.com

Thanks people...


I currently have KYB shocks with 40K on them; but I still am going to change them out.

Take out a leaf and add air bags. Just did it up here for a guy. Big improvment.

add a 1000# to the bed that will help also.

Bilstein Shocks are in the future.

The smoothest mine ever road was with a full pallet of grass in the bed!!
