My ride is rough

Rumbly is probably the low profile tires. Get used to it or get smaller wheels.

Boundy is probably the shock setup. There are lots of threads here about who makes the best shocks... and you'll get about a bzjillion different opinions... but I'd go with either the regular or the Sensa-Trac Monroes all the way around for smoothest ride.

Check your tire pressures also. When I first put the 18's on my truck, I had way too much tire pressure and it rode like crap.

The stiff shocks are probably causing at least part of your ride problems. Stiff makes the entire truck follow the bumps, rather than just the wheels. Short sidewalls make this worse because the tire can't absorb anything either. If the length of the shocks is limiting the suspension travel, either long or short, it can cause ride issues too. As a test, try removing the front shocks and drive over a "known" bump. This will confirm or eliminate them. If the springs are too stiff, you may not see much difference. If they are soft, the truck will continue to bounce after the bump, before it settles. It may also bang the bumpstops. As a last resort, try swapping the front tires as a test. You may be surprised at the effect of the short sidewalls.

Nice looking truck BTW

those wheels and tires tho trendy are a poor riding choice for comfort//if you've still got the 15inch rims and tires put them on and take a short ride see the difference having some sidewall makes in comfort level
