Unhappy My Back Hurts And My Wife Hates It

does anyone knows if out there is any kind of suspension or springs that really help me and my truck. I have made a lot of research, I tried to find a velvet ride on eBay but nothing. and my wife doesn't like to go in my truck because is too bumpy.

well then you better buy a car ..
one of the big factors for me buying a dodge is because it is still a "real" truck with a straight axle in the front end .. much more stout IMHO then a ifs truck like the d-max .. so if you want heavy duty some times you have to sacrifice ride ..

Kelderman is supposedly the best, but it costs a BUNCH

I would think some better tires, such as BFG and good shocks (Bilstein or Rancho) would be a good start

just my opinion

Bilsteins made my truck ride even more rough than before. Not that I care, but its true. One of my Bilsteins busted within months of me purchasing it.

Thuren, Kore, Carli, Lorenz. Those systems will soften it up a bit.

really ? i have put Bilsteins on three trucks and have never had a bad one. As far as smoothing out your ride, they do help some by keeping the tires on the ground but don't make the bumps any less tramtic
If you want a "cushy ride" air ride seats are the solution. You can purchase just the air ride base and use your OEM seats.

I'm planning on switching to some D-Rated tires when it's time to replace mine. My truck bounces all over the road right now. I had BFG ATs on my 03 and it rode much much smoother........
