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!

Must be nice, My QuadCab rides like a Town car. Way too soft. As soon as the warranty is up, Stiffer shocks for me.

I have a regular cab short bed 06 1500 and it rides great. Much smoother than my 05 QC Dakota.

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 can only find the bilstein 5100 for the 4x4 rams. not 2wd
