smooth ride

My truck rides rough!!
I have a friend with a 86 bronco that rides very good
just rolls over the bumps mine feels like it slams into them.
I know the bronco would ride better in the back because of the extra wieght. but the front rides 200% better than mine
are there things I can do.
can someone look at the door sticker and see the load capacity of thier front springs.
mine is over 3500lbs on the front and I know that it is a HDversion. but it just rides awfull?

any help?

Thanks.

Check your shocks. If they are too long, they will top out when you hit a bump. If they are too short, they will bottom out. If they are factory, they may be worn out. Just a thought.
