My ride became a lot more tolerable when I started playing with air pressure. I run about 70 to 75 psi on the front and 50 psi in the duals. It helps but it isn't a fix. I am seriously thinking of those soft ride shackles or air ride seats.

I figured I would just chain it up and go, but alot of your points have shown me that it was silly to think I would get away with it. I just really wanted my new toy , but I will wait and find a 4x4. Thanks again you guys all
Chaining it up w/waight in the back would shore get u around ok in the winter but if u what theat on your looking for will be found and if you buy this on it will be found right after u by ... atleast thats the way it work with me!

i was thinking maybe air bag suspension? i've thought about seats with suspension too, but im not sure that would make me coffee safe, just a little less beaten up. have you priced out any seats yet? whos a good distributor?
