Probably a little bit of both. But my GF and I both noticed on the 2018 we could feel the ties rumbling on the road. I left the test drive saying no way I would have it as a daily. Didn’t feel it at all on the 2019
He’s at 4K below msrp gonna was try and get him lower but I doubt he’ll go any lower worth a shot

Good luck working everything out. I wanted to take a moment and show mine off....
I had the vehicle for almost three days and pulling up to a drive through, the guy at the window goes, "Ohhh I like this, I really like what I am seeing here.... "
I laughed and my fiance just started giggling. Couldn't be happier.
I've owned my 2019 for a little over 1500 miles now and I'm not thrilled with the ride on pavement. I lowered my tire pressure from the factory and I did see somewhat of an improvement. However, my 2014 seemed much more "planted" at speed when taking curves on highways. I had much more confidence in that truck than I do in this new one. I did level out the front in the new truck, which I never did on my '14 so that may have something to do with the jittery feeling. Some have suggested new leaf springs and I'm considering that. I didnt expect a sports car drive, after all its a 3 ton truck, but I'm not that impressed with the overall ride on anything other than straight runs over level payment.
Lol beautiful truck congratsGood luck working everything out. I wanted to take a moment and show mine off....

The K02’s seem to take some time to break in. In my experience it feels a bit like driving on jello, until they break in. Ive had three sets of K02’s.
Are you feeling anything like that?
Yes, that's a good description. I just don't feel the confidence I should driving it like I did with my '14. It's jittery and seems to want to drift into the other lane at times. I just lowered tire pressure to 35 all around. I'll see how it feels tomorrow. Seems like tire pressure varies by up to 3 pounds with this crazy NE weather. I had it at 38 but when I checked today it was back up to 41!
I only test drove the truck and it wasn’t very long. Maybe a mile and a half I should have told the guy I needed more time with it. But I would agree with that statement that it felt like driving on jello.
