What can I do to decrease the bumpyness of my ride???

[2000powerstroke109]

This May sound like a dumb question but I was thinking of getting new shocks for my truck in sig to make it ride better and I was told a lift will only make the ride worse in most cases for what I can afford. I was just wondering what are best shocks for my truck and also what other thing can I do that are cheap to improve my ride. Keep in mind I'm a student I'm try to become an ASE certified diesel tech.

Thanks Kevin

you could add weight but that is still going to use fuel. it is a truck and the ride does suck but the cool factor trumps it.

true but it there anyway to make it less so...and will the shock make a big enough difference to be worth it...because I believe my truck is still using the equitment its been using for 162,988 miles lol. I don't know whether that is a good or a bad thing?

Thanks Kevin

if your not going to lift it or lower it anytime soon and those are the originals then yes go get some shocks.

If your looking for a decent ride, standard Carquest or Napa shocks are good. If you want a firmer ride you can go with after market like Rancho, Skyjacker, Superlift,Fabtec, Trailmaster....... take your pick.

I am going to get a set of bilstein's when i get a chance. They seem to be a pretty good riding shock.

I've had Bilsteins on all of my cars and have been satisfied with them...but the thing is im not sure whether they are gonna be just as good on my truck

Thanks Kevin
