My new Ride

Well i got some pics of my new truck, just thought i'd get your opinions on it.
Its alot bigger than my last one, 5.4 4x4. I just added the western guard to it,which i bought off the FTE classifieds. I got some suspension changes to do, one is removing the 4 inch block on the axle and putting in a 2inch to level the rear of the truck, then shocks, after that adding a amp and some subs into the rear doors, then maybe some wood grain to the interior to break-up the gray....so what do you think of the new ride guy's?

Yes they are, the problem i'm have is the rear-end hops around on bumps and at highway speeds its no fun...the shocks are over extended.

Ah yes, i was going to say leave them in because the truck looks good in the pic but i agree with your reason for taking them out now.

Hey Ray, you could throw about ten bags of quickrete in the bed that will level it out.

Nice truck Ray.

I sure do miss my '99 and '00 F350's.
Check the air pressure you're running. That will have ALOT to do with ride quality. I always ran my lower to ease the bounce. My dually's always called for like 60 psi, I ran them at 45-50 with no issues(even with trailer).

Congrats!
