castlewood57 Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 So second year of hauling hay and fixed several air leaks, but my truck feels like I am going 4 wheeling over rocks without and with hauling a trailer on as well. Before I start pulling out garbage sacks of money to work on this issue, does anyone have pointers on what to look out for? I am getting tired of bouncing like a pea in a tin can, and DW has worse issues since she is well endowed. If I am going to get her talked into going on ANY trips I have to get this problem fixed. Thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve from SoCal Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Shock absorbers, Springs rearched? How much weight do you have on the steer axle?

porky69 Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 I would start with quality shock absorbers.....drove a Pete with less than 100,000miles on a set of cheapish shocks and it rode like a tank, convinced shop foreman to replace them with some good ones and it was better than the day the truck was bought.

chief916 Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 I installed airbags on my leafsprings on my 97 WIA and put restrictors on my airbags on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check into Donvel, it helped my truck. Robin was great to work with. Pricing I thought was fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimster Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 SumoSprings seem to work really well for motorhomes. Same issues on the front axle. They have a really nice 2 part unit that can be adjusted according to loading (you can preload the spring, or leave it less 'loaded' depending on your application). Nice feature is there's no air bag/system to maintain or leak. https://www.supersprings.com/product-category/sumosprings-front/ I'm getting a Volvo 670 and plan on trying these if, like you, the ride is not as nice as we hoped. Their customer support is 2nd to none.
