I've been working on my suspension lately, trying to get that low, comfy ride. Swapped a ton of stuff, put in longer springs, drop spindles, softer shocks, even added airbags in the rear. It helped some, but man, after a long drive, I still feel like I've gone a few rounds in the ring.
So, here's the plan: I'm about to switch out my rims and tires. Just changing the tires will set me back $2600 whenever they need it. So, I figured why not bite the bullet now while they've still got some tread, and go for another size wheel and tire? It'll cost me $2900, but hey, it might just do the trick.
I'm eyeing a set of TBSS, but in 22's this time, with some sweet 285/45/22 Michelin Defenders. And if anyone's interested in my old 24's, maybe we can work something out. Hit me up if you're in the NW Florida area and want to check 'em out. The tires are Yokohama Parada Spec-X285 /40 R24 the rims are 24x10.

They look good on there, but in my own journey with wheels and tires on these trucks, you aren't going to get any desirable ride quality unless you go back to 17's and put some 55-60 series on there. It's your own balance between looks and ride that you need to settle on.

Thanks for the reply, I hope these michlens will ride better, but yeah if not I will have 30days to change them out, with discount tire. I don't know if you saw I changed out my front springs and put airbags on the rear, that definitely helped, but yeah at high way speeds I still feel everything, could be the Yoko's not much tread left

If the truck does not ride to your liking after installing the Michelin Defenders, I can pretty much assure you that the continuing problem is not due to the Defenders.
