Ranger ride problems

I have a 1998 Ranger super cab 4x4, when it reached 42,000 miles
I changed the factory tires, and four sets and 20,000 miles later it still bounces and rides rough. I any one has the same problem, or knows how to fix it please let me know.

Ranger ride problems

i'm assuming that the rough ride is related to your tires since that was what you changed(?) did you check and make sure that the tires were aligned/balanced properly? are they inflated to the recommended cold pressure as listed inside your door panel? and are they "good" tires (not cheapo knockoffs)? just a few things that could affect ride quality.

good luck,
lc

I fixed my bouncy problem with 300 pounds of sand bags in the back.

Let me be a little more clear about the ride problem there has been four sets of tires one firestone, two bridgestone and the last set was cooper. The bridgestones were ballanced countless times, the frontend was alinged, and the shocks were changed all this was in a attempt to fix the problem. There is know way that all those different sets of tires wewe bad.

thanks
Brent
