[QUOTE="allinon72, post: 1437797, member: 34072"] Not sure about the history of your truck but it seems it may have been neglected a bit. The suspension needs a thorough going over first. From your post it sounds like you’ve replaced your tires, probably with load range E, which are stiffer. I run 36psi all around on load range E. Second, if your tires were allowed to be bald and cupping, I doubt the shocks were touched. They need to be rebuilt or replaced. Unfortunately this is one of the few large expenses gen 1 owners have to address. Keep in mind that a gen 1 won’t ride as well as a gen 2 for a number of reasons. The gen 2 shocks are larger and more refined, and the suspension is more finely tuned. That being said a properly sorted gen 1 suspension rides like a Cadillac on the street IMO. [/QUOTE]
