Anything I can do to make this truck ride better?
Hi All. Been running my wifes 97 extended cab 1500 4x4 the last few months and had to drive my 76 the other day thats been parked. Noticed my 76 did not ride as rough as I remembered compared to my wifes truck.
Is there any suggestions on improving the ride and soaking up the bumps a little better? The truck is a 97 Z71 extended cab 3 door. It has 130k on it I wanted to start with shocks but every time i replace shocks on something seems to make the ride worse. This has the factory bill stein shocks still on it and they seem to still be ok. No sag or uneven body I even played a little bit with the tire pressure truck actually is smoother with the recommended 65 PSI in the tires which are Yokohama and usually ride smooth. This truck has not lead a hard life everything is still like new but hit a bump in the road and it like your on a skate board.
