96 ram 2WD leveling kit rough ride
What's up I'm new too the forum and have a 96 ram 2WD I purchased with a leveling kit up front and air bags in the rear and it's a horrible bumpy bouncy ride unless on a smooth road I'm wondering what can be done too make it a better ride I like the look but not the ride

Well..... unloaded, my truck rides like..... oddly enough.... a truck..... mine is a 3/4 ton though, so, the suspension is a bit stiffer. 
Throw about 400 pounds of something in the bed, see if it rides better. Mine rode like a cadillac with 3000 pound of dirt in the bed.... (beat the crap out of fuel economy though....)
Did it ride better before you put the spacers on? What spacers did you get?

Ah. Yeah. It's a truck, so it isn't gonna ride like a car..... at all....
Gas mileage does take a serious whack when you are heavily loaded, just remember to NOT tow in Overdrive.
You could try pulling out the spacers, and see if it improves any. Don't hold your breath though.
