Ride Quality Advice

I’m on P Metric Falken Wildpeaks at 32 psi cold, a combo which is good for comfort. I know it is specifically the Fox shock because the Bilstein 4600’s I had on before (a typically stiffer and digressive shock) rode much softer. The ride was pretty good before changing the shocks, and they were the only item that was changed when the ride became rough, eliminating all other variables.

 

Try throwing a couple hundred pounds of weight in the back for a couple of days and hit every bump. Maybe they just need to cycle a bit. Sounds like there's to much pressure in them.

 

How old are your tires?

 

I have tried putting some extra weight in the bed the last two times I had the Fox shocks on the truck, and it didn’t seem to help at all. I will try it again, just in case but yes, they seem way over pressurized.

And tires are 2 years old as of this month. I know tires are not the issue as the ride quality changed ONLY when the fox shocks were installed, and reverted back to normal when I reinstalled the Bilsteins to have the Fox’s serviced.

 

I'm sorry to hear you haven't found a fix yet OP. At this point it might be best to cut your losses and swap on a different brand shock absorber in the rear.

 

Just adding some more information to the thread, more than me just saying “it rides crap”.
Most OE and aftermarket shocks are different lengths side to side, driver’s side being shorter because of how the lower shock mounts are constructed. The fox shocks are same part numbers and lengths side to side. Took some pictures and found some interesting stuff..
