welcome to the forum...i would have to agree with everyone else, if it rides great with stuff in the bed then the suspension is where i'd look......let us know!

hmmm....finally got to 1000 posts...500/yr avg...kinda crappy lol

 

Hahahahaha![sm=funnypostabove.gif]


I have to agree with everyone else... It sounds like the rear suspension was beefed up some how...

 

I'll get under there today and take a lookand let you guys know. If the leafs are normal would my next step be just get better shocks? I've never had anything this new and this is my first Dodge, I sure do love it though

 

yea i would say if the rear suspension is stock lookin at new shocks isnt gonna hurt but i dont make any promises that its gonna start riden like a caddy after that...

 

there are 4 leafs back there and I don't want a super smooth ride going down the road, i would just like not to be shaken to death while going down the highway

 

Hmm....my 2500 has 4 leafs....maybe your shocks are going ? I run Bilstiens and love them but they are a little spendy...Other's have good reports on Monroe which are cheaper and can be had at most auto-parts stores. Rear shocks arent very difficult to change either...maybe try that ?

 

Hi Welcome , You need two new tires for the back , Thats what solved my problem an 2003 qc hemi . It would shake bad empty an hwy and soon as i got it loaded it was nice and smooth again

 

Your signature says your truck is a 1500, normally they only come with 3 leafs. Sounds like previous owner added a leaf for more payload capacity, that would cause your ride to be harsh

 

Just looked at mine, I have a 1500, 4 leafs, and I'm the original owner. I do, however, have a QC which may have an extra leaf over a RC.

 

I will check tomorrow and see if my Reg. cab has 3 or 4 leafs. I'd do it now, but it's dark and I don't want to get bitten by a rattlesnake, or attcked by a mountain lion/bobcat...
