2010 f150 fx4 pot hole feel rough ride
Hi. Truck is riding really rough on bumps and feels somewhat like it is going to bottom out on dips in the road. Also bed of truck is slamming with bumps in road as well. I feel like bumps are pot holes. So, I replaced shocks and struts (kyb) new BFg tires and problem is still there. It is so bad my kids are yelling at me in the back seat. Truck never drove this bad. 2 different dealers checked everything under truck and says it all looks good. I don't know what to do aside from getting rid of it. Anyone have any ideas at all???

What PSI are your tires at?
Did this happen before or after the tires?

I always thought that KYB made a decent car shock not so sure about our trucks though. Boss, Fox, Icon shocks and a few others have had really good reviews on here.
If you upgraded to load range "E" tires that will make the ride a little rougher.

Not exactly sure what psi tires are at. I know I just randomly let air out of them to see if it would help and it isn't. This was happening before I changed the tires anyway. This truck used to be a dream to drive and now....I'm getting migranes

I thought you let the air out of them but, I'll definitely give it a try tomorrow.
Thank you for tip!
I know I started towing a TT this past year so I'm hoping I can resolve this soon.

"I know I started towing a TT this past year so I'm hoping I can resolve this soon".
Did the issue start after you began towing the TT? I tow a 6700# 30 foot with a 900# tongue weight I have to be careful with. Something to consider.

It did not start immediately after I started towing. I started towing a year ago. I towed my 5500lb TT 2 times so far.
Pardon my ignorance also....Im a very handy female just not so much of a "mechanic". I do all this basically myself.

Its ok. Please go buy a tire pressure gauge and keep it in the truck. Never let air in/out without knowing the pressure in each tire. You mileage will tank and your tires will wear unevenly.

Ok. Put tires at 40psi. Looked like they were just under 35 before I filled them more. It helped a little but but, bed of truck keeps slamming on the bumps
Nope truck is still driving like a log truck. The bed is just slamming in all the bumps and the vibes are coming straight through the cab. Loud and painful.
