I want a smoother ride!!!!!

[x-man]

What's out there to make my lumber wagon ride more like a Buick.

Ok, maybe I'm asking for too much, but, is there something on the market to help me smooth out my ride a little?

you do realize you're driving a truck, right? LOL, sorry had to pick on ya... however, no personal experiance, but heard many reports of lifts actuly making the truck ride better. My cousin had gasser cc/sb he lifted 4", and it rode nice... and not too much taller. Truck ended up his wife's grocery getter... The key is better leaf springs in the front, and good shocks. A small lift, or just good after market springs... more thin leafs, not few thick leafs makes for a smoother ride...

My 1999.5 was too tall from the factory for pulling my fifth wheel, so the first thing I did was remove 2" from the back axle. Can't remove any from the front, so it is a touch higher in the front now. I don't like the way it looks, but it works the way I need it to.

So I don't want to put in a lift, but thanks.

Any other ideas?

Throw a set of Firestone Rite-Rite air bags under the rear. Will level out your truck and soften the ride. I found a good deal on a set, just have to find the site.
