I just bought my truck and trying to figure what will make the ride smoother when i hit any kind of crack in road or potholes in drive way it is so rough like short choppy rough it doesnt bounce or anything it has 140 thousand miles and has a set of nitto a/t on it on the 20 inch dodge will i need help yall before my fiance wants me to sell it everything works fine on it just need help with supension or.......

 

Full size truck with leave sprung and torsion bar suspension sort of rules out smooth ride.


Throw a few hundred pounds worth of sand bags in the bed, that'll smooth it out.

 

Not the first truck iv owned and this one rides too rough i understand a truck doesnt ride the same but this one ride very rough too rough where seems it gonna break sumn and its the front also not just the back

 

Does the front end appear level with the back? Or higher? Does it have a faux califorinia lift? Maybe someone cranked the torsion bars too much.

 

Replace shocks? Try running lower air pressure?

 

not for sure on the lift and yes its level from front to back it seems it may have a few inch body lift on it not real sure tho

Thanks for the help yall not for sure if this is the problem causing it to ride as rough as it is but i took it too shop today and found that the lower ball joints need replacing sumone changed the tops just not bottom dont know why doesnt make since but im changing them in a few days and maybe that will solve my issue

 

Also i know nothing about adjusting the torsion bars is there anyway that i can check to see if anyone has adjusted them?

 

After ball joint replacement, take it to a shop that does lifetime alignments and pay for that. You can go back later, like when you buy new tires and have them do it again.
