The truck rides great. If I ran the recommended tire pressure without a major load, I suspect I'd be bouncing out of the truck.

2001 2wd 2500 LB Reg cab 5.9 v8, 50psi 50psi . 245/75 r16 Load range e. They do ride hard as Hey You stated.
Some who dd their trucks and almost never load them go to a different range LT or xl tire for a softer ride, and perhaps reduced load rating.
Fewer plies will let the tread flex more easily.

I stopped in Jackson on my way to Roanoke Rapids, and dropped the tires to 55psi, I didnt want to go to 50 for fear of falling lower and I'm a perfectionist about stuff like that almnost ocd. I went to Firestone and was kinda nervous until i saw a man I trust that used to work at Central Ford in Ahoskie before it was sold to Fryer, I paid for a lifetime alignmant and the guy ( joe) told me everything was tight BUT I had a little play in the gearbox, which makes total sense considering when I bought it it had a farm use tag on teh back and teh ONLY maintenance that was ever done to it was the oil was changed once a year
I'm gonna adjust eth gearbox here in a few after a 6th cup of coffee so I'm totally awake, And since I'm near a compressor, I'm gonna drop the tires to 50 all 4
tomorrow the man in Capron Va that works with us at DOT equipment shop is ordering Falcon Wildpeak LT265/70R18, for me, he's cheaper than tire rack or anybody else online or locally, I will be keeping either the Michilian I paid $70 for or one of the cooper discoverer's so when I get a 18" rim for a spare I'll have a tire already
