I love my Ram,it doesn't ride as nice as the 2000 GMC Sierra ExcabSB I used to have but The Dodge feels like a big solid truck and I like that feeling too!
VP64 that makes absolutely no sense that your ride got better with larger rims and loprofile tires, not calling you a liar or any thing, it just doesn't make sense... The thicker the sidewall the more cushion you get, the thinner the sidewall the rougher it gets. You sure you didnt get some better quality shocks in there as well???
Mine rides relatively smooth now, I have a 275/55/r20 street tire filled to 40psi (max is 50psi, any higher and th tread wears in the center to fast, any lower and my mileage suffers and the tread wears on the sides to fast) and bilstein shocks, its not car quality smooth, but its MUCH better than stock
ive been having the stock shocks n spring. having a smaller wheel gave my truck more bounce to the ounce. like on those wavy paved roads the suspension can dip more with smaller wheels. and the lo pros have softer rubber but wear out faster. and potholes suck btw
I'd say put some nice Blistens 5100 shocks on it. Not sure if 15s will fit on the truck, but I'd keep the 17s and just put on some heavy A/T or M/T tires.
I can only find the bilstein 5100 for the 4x4 rams. not 2wd
