Ride too stiff!!normal?
Hi, i just got a 04 2wd ram 1500, its really nice and the ex owner did just installed a rc 3 inch suspension lift, with 33" maxxis big horn mud tires. So it drives good but very stiff and rough on small road imperfections and man holes, i mean it rides like a lowered sport car, very stiff and hit small bumps on the road very hard . i did try a stock ram before and the ride was nice and smooth. Ia it because of the lift or is it the tires type? I only put 35psi of air and still the same.

The tires are probably a big part of the equation, but I'd research those shocks, too. Look for reviews and see if others feel they ride stiff, too. You'd definitely benefit from a softer side wall, for sure, but the shocks might be a cheaper "fix" to at least make it tolerable.
As for tires, pretty much anything in a lesser load range. I really liked the DuraTracs I had on my truck for a couple years. Some have had and seen sidewall failures on our big, heavy vehicles, but I abused mine for three years on road and off road, and never had a problem with them. Hell, I threw that truck around German country roads and even had it on the Nürburgring with no issues whatsoever -- I'd buy another set.
