Laughing Crow

I recently punched a 2006 F150 Harley Davidson edition AWD/4X4. It came with Maxtrac 2" lowering springs and 2/4" lowering shackles. The previous owner neglected to change the 85K old shocks and it's ride was bouncy and uncomfortable. The wheels are stock 22" with new Pirelli Scorpion tires (35psi). Following Maxtrac's recommendation I bought their rear shocks and replaced the fronts with Bilstein 4100 series. I had the alignment done at the time of replacement (it required the camber bolt kit to bring it to spec). After all this pain and expense the ride is only marginally better.

I understand that this will never ride nor handle like my old lower VW R32 or my Land Rover LR3; but I think I may be missing something as this is the first pickup truck I have owned.

All analysis and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

To address handling, install an aftermarket rear sway bar.
