    The stock ride is literal garbage. I have changed the rear shocks out to 5160's but have been waiting to do the front till the 3rd gen 6112's came out... I am so sick of the way it rides. I swear my 89 pick up rode like a cloud compared to this crap.

    Any suggestions?

    should I do the 5100 up front? am I just being a sissy?

    I have a little bit of weight in the bed and it got way worse all around.

    also every other truck I have rode in has a better on road ride... I have yet to see one be more stiff and take road hazards with little to no ability to dampen

    I drove a sport but they didnt have mine on the lot so I made a rookie mistake and made the deal on the truck I wanted then they drove it down from ventura to santa monica where I purchased it... this truck has given me so many issues. I have finally got most of the stuff taken care of to allow me to drive and not grit my teeth.

    Tis how I ended up with my OR version. I disliked the ride of the sport and the hood bulge.
