I have a '97 F150 extracab longbed. This configuration gives me a very
long
wheelbase and I expected the ride to be rough, but on uneven freeway
pavement I was surprised at how rough it really is, esp. at speeds over
55
mph. Question: can I improve the ride by installing good shocks, say
KYB
gas shocks. Any advice welcome. Thanks.


I've found that replacing shocks can improve a truck's ride but usually
only moderately. Springs and the type of tires on the vehicle can be a
big factor in the ride. Also tire pressure is very important. If you
often run empty, you may want to try lower pressure in the rear tires.
I've had a couple of sets on the Monroe Sensa-Trac Shocks on two
vehicles, on the Explorer there was no improvement in ride, but a Chevy
Tahoe they did improve the ride.

I would also look at Tokico shocks, I've heard good things about their
ride qualities. Many of the truck manufacturers are going to P type
tires vs. LT tires in an effort to improve ride on the larger trucks.
The sidewalls on P tires is less stiff than on a LT Tire.
