Hello all,

My first post. I bought a used 99' Hoe a couple of years back, it just turned 90k. I love it. It's all stock. The truck sits level but, not quite sure how this was accomplished (believe that torsion bars were adjusted but just a guess). I realize its a truck but, how can I smooth out the ride some. I can feel every little hole in the road. All bushings are rubber except for the stabilizer bar link, those are polly. What are some of you running for tires, shocks, any other suspension goodies to smooth out the ride? As always, I thank you in advance for your time and input.

Red.

These trucks (IMO) are some of the smoothest riding vehicles out there. Somethings wrong if yours isn't. I would first start off with replacing the shocks (Im a bilstein fan, but who isn't?).

I've heard if you have like 22" rims and no side wall tire it causes the ride to be shitty too. but I don't think this applies in your case.

if the torsion bars are cranked it would be a little stiffer.. but it shouldnt be terrible.
