Not much you can do to soften the ride except go with new suspension bushings. They help some. Other than that, all I can suggest is finding smoother roads.  | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 | Dumb question, but do you need a 3/4 ton? You could put in lighter springs, but that sacrifices load carrying ability. I have a friend who got so sick of the ride in his 3/4 ton that he just drove around with a heavy load all the time to soften the suspension up. He took a bunch of steel stock and loaded it in the bed, it really did smooth the ride out, but sacrificed fuel economy big time. You could look into a new seat that is squishy and shock absorbing? Not really sure, good luck.

I believe you can put C-10 front springs & take some leaves out of the rear, But like Fort Knox says you will lose some load capacity.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
