Suspension - softening it!

Has anyone - ever - put a mor/ryde suspension system on their Super Duty?! I have a F250 and I am sick of the kidney beating ride. Anyone - please tell me if you have used a mor/ryde... I would love to hear from others!

i don't know anything about the suspension system your talking about, but my ride got softer on my 1995 f-350 after i threw on some 35 inch ssr's and some rancho 9000's, didn't really notice to much until i got in a friends stock f-350 and what a difference! my ride was still stiff but not nearly as much as before, planning to do the same to my 2004 f-250 now, but of course, i didn't get the tires and stuff just for the ride, and...its a truck, its suppose to be stiff!

i assume you either have the camper package or the snow plow prep package? those will give a rough ride because they were meant to be loaded down.

Camper package

Yup, the camper package. Should I have that removed?

no it stiffer springs. you can get a lift and replace the springs with a set from donahoe racing. it will definately improve the ride.

leaf springs

It is leaf springs. It is a 2004 V10 Lariet supercab 8ft box. I'm calling MorRyde today and talking to them about their setup.

I'm just going to sell it

I don't like the truck. I'm going to sell it. It was a mistake to buy it. Total overkill for pulling my boats. I have tried repeatedly to find a workable solution. There is none.

I dropped my tire pressure down to 45-48psi all around and my truck rides 100% better. Have to aire them up if I haul anything but for riding around town it works great!!
