Rough Rider!
 
My truck rides kinda rough on bumps and whatnot and i was wondering if there was anyway to increase the ride quality for relatively cheap?

is your truck 4wd?

mrmushroomstamp 11-12-2009 06:06 PM

yep.

is your torsion bars turnt up? if they are its gonna affect the ride a little but not much its a 4wd so its not really gonna ever ride like a caddy. also is your shocks factory? they might be old and stiff. i sujest bilstein shocks they are the best you can buy right now for ride they will improve it alot but they are not gonna be cheap how many miles is on the truck? what kinda tires is on it?

the shocks are stock it has about 126,000 on it and some kinda cheap off brand all terrains (on it when i bought it)

yeah your shocks are more than likley the problem like i said the torsion bars have little effect on ride quality but not enough to notice

new shocks will make a world of difference.

mrmushroomstamp 11-14-2009 01:06 AM

just make sure that when you get shocks to get good quality if you get cheapos it want be long before its back to ruff riding
