Ok I was wondering about a smoother ride....I saw these on ebay.

Bilstein HD Shocks

Any suggestions would be great. If I can install myself let me know.Now for the odd question..

Is there anyway I could make the cab noise more silent from the outside world?? Probably not but I was willing to take a shot.

 

Quieter tires (not likely) or taking everything out of the cab (seats, carpet etc), lining it with noise dampening material and then putting it all back in.

 

What he said for noise reduction. There are many good brands out there. Dynamat is one of the more mainstream ones that is fairly easy to find locally. There are also sprays like Noise Killer Blue or something similar to that. Just do a search on line and you'll find tons of stuff.

As far as the shocks go. It will give you a more controlled ride in a sense of handling, but will not get rid of the infamous bed hop. If that is a problem go get some bags of sand at Home Depot or other store and put them in the bed up next to the tailgate. About 300 pounds ought to do the trick.

 

the bed hop is not a problem...i just don't want to feel the bumps as much.

 

What size rims/tires are you running? I have 31' tires on 17 inch rims and my ride is pretty comfortable. If you're running on some big 20 inch rims with small rubberband tires the ride will be rougher.

 

if you want a quieter smoother ride, get performance tires. I have the 17" rims and replaced the stock michelins with Bf Goodrich Dueler HP's. The bed doesn't hop and I can take corners at like 30 mph.
