Ride Quality

Whats the ride quality like in the newer f-450 pickups?I Owen a 06 f-450 with a 6.0 its a supper cab with a gooseneck. The truck rides nice with a trailer but without you need a kidney belt it rides so rough.I looked into full air bag but the price is high.I thought if the newer 450 trucks road better would go to the dealer and install the late model springs in my truck.

I highly doubt they ride much better if at all. And with the dealership cost your probably gonna pay near the same price as air bags.

IMO the F450 is not for ride, it's for towing like any Super Duty and the ride quality is sacrificed with the payload
