these trucks usually ride better with a load than empty. I replaced the springs on my 94 (because they were worn out from the 5th wheel) and it got better, but it's still rough when unloaded. That's sort of what I expect for a truck though. After all, it's not a chevy...............

To Answer you question. I have 1 . Did ride issue come after shock swap?
You may have got hd truck shocks .
For 90% of us road drivers the basic Monroe or the like shock do just fine. My truck rides better than my car.
Good luck

That could very well be the case. Once the new shocks settle down a bit and everything meshes, you might notice some improvement.
By any chance are they gas shocks? Sometimes if you don't extend them a few times before installing 'em, they can give you a rough ride. It's just something my retired alignment tech/mechanic Dad always told me to make sure I did. Never have had any issues after doing that.
