rough ride

[booneboy02]

I understand Its a truck but why does my f150 ride like wagon in a rock driveway. I recently replace the shocked all around and checked tire pressure. Its even stiffer. I feel every bump or crack dashboard rattles cd player skids and my teeth chatter. This is BS LOL

I had a 91 f150 that had 8 ply tires on it when I got it and it about beat me to death till I changed tires but not sure about yours.

What tire pressure are you at and how many miles on the truck?

[booneboy02]

150xxx I was running them at 32psi a coworker suggested I run them at 30 since I don't tow anything and put a few hand tools in the back. That softened a little of the rumble.
I have new ball joints top and bottom both side. New upper control arms and bushings. Most of the bushings have been recently been replaced before I bought the truck.
Would a lift cushion my ride a little more?

Doubt it, every lifted truck I've been in had a horrible ride.

The difference between 30 and 32 psi is negligible since the radiant heating from the road is going to raise the pressure in your tires by 5-7psi already. I have mine set at 30psi.

I was going to suggest bushings, but it seems yours are all in place. I have 275k miles on my truck, with OEM factory ball joints and bushings and I have a decent ride (note: I don't go down any gravel roads, however)

How is the ride on pavement? Any shaking, bumping, etc?

[booneboy02]

That's where I get the shaking and rumble. Here in Va the roads suck anyway. On the interstate I can feel every joint in the concrete road. Not to mention repaired pot holes

And do you feel it more in the steering wheel or your arse?

[Cody.kopp]

have you adjusted the torsion bars at all if you have that is your problem right there

[Raptor05121]

A base model V6 with torsion bars? not unless it was a custom-order truck
