Bumpy Ride
Greetings all.
I know this is suspension related, but it's strictly offroad suspension.
I have a 78 F150 460 4x4 and I'm running Rancho 5000 shocks all around with coils up front and leafs in the rear. The ride on the trails is REALLY bumpy even with 18-20 psi in my 35s.
For the rear, I'm planning on taking a leaf or two out to soften the ride, but what can I do to the front? Would softer shocks do anything? If so, which are the best for my application?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

really the only thing you could do is swap coil springs. you could get BC bronco coils 5.5" lift and with the weight of that 460 and the softness of the springs you'd prolly have a real decent ride! i dunno though that is pure speculation
