Rough ride;looking for softer ride

RE: Rough ride;looking for softer ride
IMHO the ifs is too squishy, but I'm really a 3/4 ton kinda guy and I wish the dak had a solid axle up front. Of course I could do the swap, but then I'd still have a <6' bed that plywood won't sit flat in and I'd still have a ~1200 pound payload and ~6000 pound towing capacity, which is too little for what I want a truck for.
If you want it softer, lower the air pressure in your tires, get some soft shocks, uncrank the torsion bars if they've been cranked, or go buy a Gran Marquis

BTW. has any body noticed that the independent front suspension of these trucks is real cushy,
but the solid axle, leaf spring rear is not. (thats the problem.)
that totally makes sense! i got a surprise once or twice on the freeway when the truck seems to get a little loose in the rear over bumps. i had to start driving slower (i had only driven cars) i thought it was due to less weight in the back and being a little higher up.
