My new Ride

Well i got some pics of my new truck, just thought i'd get your opinions on it.
Its alot bigger than my last one, 5.4 4x4. I just added the western guard to it,which i bought off the FTE classifieds. I got some suspension changes to do, one is removing the 4 inch block on the axle and putting in a 2inch to level the rear of the truck, then shocks, after that adding a amp and some subs into the rear doors, then maybe some wood grain to the interior to break-up the gray....so what do you think of the new ride guy's?

Yes they are, the problem i'm have is the rear-end hops around on bumps and at highway speeds its no fun...the shocks are over extended.

Hey Ray, you could throw about ten bags of quickrete in the bed that will level it out.

Nice truck Ray.

I sure do miss my '99 and '00 F350's.
Check the air pressure you're running. That will have ALOT to do with ride quality. I always ran my lower to ease the bounce. My dually's always called for like 60 psi, I ran them at 45-50 with no issues(even with trailer).

Congrats!
