Re: 4x4 Looking for comfortable ride

I have 33" Terra Grapplers on 18" rims, load E. Ride is rock hard. I air them down to 35psi when unloaded and the ride is much better on some of the bad roads I drive daily. Still its harsher then what I like. Unless LT tires are required for the load, I suggest Pmetric if available in the size you want.

How are the bushings? If they have been replaced with poly, change back to rubber. I did and it helped.

Also check the shocks. From the pics, it looks like yellow Monroe HD gas magnums. That will give a stiff ride. I use Bilstein, but that also makes the ride stiff since they are a performance shock. I'll probably try monroe spectrums in the future to try to smooth things out further. Adjustable Ranchos would be better, but they are around $100 a piece.
