You can lower the tire's air pressure when running empty to help with the ride. I'm down to 45psi in the rear so my wife and daughter won't complain.

Just get a little duct tape, that'll keep the "complaining" to a minimum from the wife and kids. Just don't ever take it off or you'll never hear the end of it. Always remember to go all the way around the head a few times with the tape for maximum protection for your ears.

Yeah, what he said.............No really the Lorenz with the dual purpose leafs and Iprogressive coils, is sooooooo much better than stock.

It took my wife 'bout 30' before she was say'in how much better the ride was. JMHO

Also as has been stated, Don Thuren and Carli would be better optiions than an air-ride seat. I use an air-ride seat 'bout 12 to 14hrs a day and if your suspension ain't great the air seats don't help "that" much. Now, an upgraded suspension and air seats...........'dat's what I'm talk'in 'bout.

Talking Look in my sig smooth ride mods

Look in my sig for my mods for smooth ride. I have the Kelderman 2 bag air ride which changed it to a half ton ride. Further, I removed my factory seats from their frames, bought the industrial air ride seat frames & modified my factory seats to the air ride frames. I still have the 6 way seat & all. I used a little $10 compressor from Walmart, no tank. Works great. My wife was plum giddy when she rode in it after the mods & couldn't believe the difference.

Hmmmmm.... is that LA Los Angeles, Lousiana, or more importantly, Lower Alabama?

On a serious note, what kind of industrial seat frames, more info.

Talking Here's the link for Industrial seats

I used both driver & passenger Industrial seats. Went to heavy duty truck supply & got air line, air valve. Air valves were I think $22 a piece.
