Rough Ridin 2500

My truck rides way too rough. I put rancho 5000 shocks on it, no difference. Should I try 9000's or some other brand?

Re:Rough Ridin 2500

I dont think your ever going to get a real nice ride with your 2500.<br>I recently had 9000s installed on my truck.<br>It improved the ride but it is still rough, but now a lot more bearable.<br><br>Sort of the nature of the beast thing!<br><br>--Justin

Re:Rough Ridin 2500

Yea, Pourin Diesel is right...I put 9000's on mine and there is little improvement. Not sure if other brands are any better or not. But it's a truck...not a car and I don't mind the ride...<br>Big dawg

Re:Rough Ridin 2500

I have put the 9000's on mine and there is quite an improvement. Empty at themoment I am using the 3 setting on the front and a 2 on the back. As Big dawg said, it is a truck and not a car. Now I am waiting for the Hopper Stoppers to become available for the '03's and will try them. They are supposed to be out the end of June.

Lower tire pressure will help a little.

Re:Rough Ridin 2500

Forgot to mention that with no load I am running 45 psi all round. The fronts look a little low at 45 so am going to experiement and go to 50 in the front.<br>With a load will have to jack up the pressures a little.
