Re: I need a smoother ride.
They make shorter bumpstops or...as mentioned...trim that one...that definitely will improve the ride even if it's soft...it's still hitting it....
After that, I'd look into the front shocks as well...what brand/type? And on the cab mounts...I'd work on getting rid of any metal to metal contact. I think the three of these together will make a big difference. Someone else can speak to bag pressures and how those compare....but what I've seen on here is 70 front and 30 (unloaded) -60 (loaded) on our trucks...might want to consider a cup for the front and rear since your problem is the truck is too low with lower air pressure...if you add a cup (or put in a larger one if you have one already) it'll raise the truck up...allowing you to lower the air pressure in the bags to lower the truck back down.... There are recommended ride heights for every spring out there which I found out a year or so ago...post how tall your bags are currently at ride height....maybe you have them too tall for their optimal ride (too much air in them) The cups would help that and be a relatively simple and inexpensive solution....
