Default Make my Rough Country lift ride smoother!!

Ok I have a 2010 Lariat supercrew with a 6" Rough Country lift and 35" Nitto Trails on 20s. My problem is me and the wifey just took a trip to FL and she isn't too happy about the ride quality and even though it doesn't bother me it couldn't hurt to make it a little smoother for long trips. After all my searching I've found nothing on how to make it just even a tad bit better ride for her. I'm guessing new shocks or something like that but any advice would be great!!

Thanks in advance!!

Not sure that there is much you can do. Nice looking truck though.

Yep, upgrading the shocks will help a little bit.

What PSI are you running in the tires? I think the rough country kit does make the ride a little harsh compared to the other kits.

A Rough Country kit that rides "rough"... How Ironic.

Yea I kinda figured there wouldn't be much I could do, I see some of people putting Fox shocks on the rear and doing some sort of aftermarket coilover setup but I'm not sure what to do. It may just be a lost cause for her haha.

You may try running a little lower psi in tires, may not help but it's free. Shocks may be another more expensive method.
