No matter what type of suspension you have it was built to handle a lot of wieght and will have a certain amount of roughness. My 2008 kW with airride suspension ,airride cab, airride seat still bounces you pretty good. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 942 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 942 | Yeah they will ride rough, but to make sure everything thing is in order have your front-end completely checked out by someone who specializes in big trucks, if you haven't already.
Some trucks out there just take hard hits. I can even remember advoiding certain rough roads in my '64 C-30.
As mentioned, Radials will help even tho I still like the old Bias-ply tires.
