    Ride seems fine to me. Just got done with a 300 mile trip and wasn't uncomfortable or felt it was bouncy. Granted it was mostly smooth road.

    See there, perfect. Just stay on smooth roads and you're good to go. M'kay?

    What else can we help you with this evening?

    What don't you like about it?

    When I was test driving, I found the TRD Off-Road to be too bouncy, but the Sport I eventually bought was firmer. There's plenty of steering feedback - for a truck - and the ride is great on the highway with no floating.

    I test drove both an OR and Sport when I was shopping for my truck. Ended up getting a sport but the ride felt very similar in both trucks (didn't do any off roading obviously). Think there must be something up with your specific truck because it sounds like you test drove a sport that rode just fine.

    And you do have ko2s on it which doesn't help plush the ride either. If anything makes it a lot stiffer.

    Just go get a Ridgeline. You're complaining about your sport truck driving like its a truck with sport suspension. You should've done more research before spending 40k on a truck. Now you have mis-matched shocks on there which isn't helping your cause. Quit with the knee jerk reactions and do more research.

    Good lord. Pickups with stock suspension these days drive like my old Camry. Soft as shit.

    I think the OP would hate my 2nd Gen Taco with OME 886's up front and an empty bed with Dakars out back... plus Cooper ST Maxx 33's with Load Range E rating and ArmorTek sidewalls.
