Im with you... Trucks arent supposed to ride like cars. There are things to soften the blow, but if your truck rides like a car, it is probably about as usefull as one. My truck is a one ton, so it rides like a tractor, but thats part of the fun, I thought...? I kind of prefer bench seats as well, though I'm swapping my 1st gen bench for a 2nd gen. I love that console.
that is pretty much true for those new trucks. i saw this on another forum. the guy didn't even have a full load of dirt and his wheels were almost in the wheel well and apparently he had 30psi of air in his airbags.

There is no way i would have been able to haul all that with out the airlift 1000 kit, i think its at about 30 PSI here. I will admit i was at my limit though.

I've hauled twice that amount of dirt without any kind of suspension help and I didn't squat that much
Wow. I would have been embarrassed to post that picture after spending $30k+, on a "truck". Seriously, I used to haul more than that in my '82 Toyota Pickup, and have less squat in the back.
When I bought the truck the lift was on it and no brand markings, but it looks like tuff country or pro comp. As far as the skyjackers, it wasn't the hydro. I guess I'm just spoiled after having a lifted 02 Avalanche that had a smooth ride. It got totaled in an auto accident last year. Thanks for the replies
One thing I do not like about the Avalanche is that is car type ride. So anything will seem stiffer.

That has to be a lowered 2WD truck. I see a stock 2WD 4th gen in the lots occasionally here, and it isn't that low to the ground in the front.
