I am from Kenora. And I do agree that your roads and ours are total crap. This past winter being so warm has torn our roads to hell.
My truck seems to ride worse every time I drive it and I am really disappointed with it.
Just wondering if there is any thing I am missing that could be checked or replaced. I would gladly spend money to fix the problem but I don't know what else to try.
By the way are you a fan of the Bombers? What do you think about this past off season?
Thanks!

Not a big sports fan, and "home" is Calgary (Go Flames).

One thing you might want to consider is a set of air bags for your truck, I just put a set in my truck and it has a very nice ride on even on Peg roads.

Talking

Hey guys, I made some changes to the rear of the truck and it has made a huge difference. I had shorter shackles with my leveling kit just over 2 years ago, and they were worn out already. I also noticed that the rear shock upper bushings are worn out too. These shocks are just over 1 year old and the dealer won't do anything for them.
I installed the factory shackles and also changed out the rear lift blocks from 2" to 3". I also installed Bilstien shocks in the rear and the ride is much better.
Here's hoping this has solved it!
