    I think it's all what you're used to. My wife had a Suburban so it's not much different.

    I'll never go back to a short bed. The longbed with a lift looks like a full siZe truck.image.jpg

    Then why don't you just buy a full-size truck?!

    Because I can lease it for about $300 per month less than a full size truck. I didn't say I need one...said it just looks beefier and more like one.

    Amateurs. You back into parking spaces. And you use mirrors. I'm sure those same people can't back up either, let alone back a trailer.

    I've got a short bed. But it rides amazingly smooth. In the last 10 years I've driven an f150 4x4, 99 escalade, 04 h2, an older k5 blazer, 09 gt500, 03 gt mustang, 95 f350 4 door long bed, a ram 3500 dually 4x4 and a 14 4runner. I think this truck rides better than all of them. I was really im pressed with it.


    If you can't park a midsize truck you should just go buy a smart car and turn in your man card. Selling my 3500 4 door long bed ram dually and buying this tinker toy. It's amazing how easily I can get in and out of places

    Back to the original post. Yes my DCSBOR has a really stiff suspension and jars on rough pavement. Today I installed a shell with weight of +-160 lbs and hoping a little pressure on the rear springs will help. On smooth roads it is a dream, little road noise and nice ride, but on rutted or worn concrete it is rough riding.

    I have a DCLB Sport with AAL in a 4 leaf pack, and Icons. No problems.

    OP, I would suspect that you may have shit that's broken.

    It backs up like a truck, and looks like a truck.

    Get out! :quickdraw:

    Just cracks me up when these dudes look all panicked and are frantically backing up, pulling forward, backing up again, etc. to pull their trucks in while there's a line of cars waiting. It's kind of entertaining. Happens at Costco all the time!

    Isn't that illegal in most states to have on their if you're not actually towing something?

    Could be, but I'm in Ontario, Canada, and I have farm plates. I get away with a lot of shit with those farm plates! :evil:
