Question rough ride

I bought a 1993 F250 XLT SC 4x4 460 a few months back. it has 140,000 kilometers and rides as rough as can be. We been through the front end replacing anything that looked bad and also replaced the front shocks. Still rides like an old tank. Its got fairly good michelan tires 10 ply. Is this just the nature of the beast or are we missing something? Thanks in advance for the help.

The 10 ply tires can be a good reason for the ride theyre probably a load rage e or more. You can try to lower the air pressure to soften the ride some. Try 35 psi front and 30 psi rear. When you are hauling or towing air up the rear to 35 psi. When you need new tires go for a load range of D if you use it as a 3/4 ton or C if you it is used more like a half ton. You may not be able to find C in your tire size though.
