Well plain and simple this thing rides like a freakin' brick. I hadnt planned on replacing/lifting the suspension on this thing for a long time,but now I am wondering if maybe by lifting it a 'lil it will soften it up a bit. Now obviously the ride depends on which shocks I use, but I guess my question is, are there any aftermarket shocks,or lift kits for that matter, that will soften the ride up?...or should I just stop being a whinny baby and enjoy my truck that rides like a truck. Thanks y'all

(1) You own a truck, and it's never going to be "soft" or handle like a car;

(2) That said, there are shocks and springs with softer specs than the stock springs and woodheads. I am not looking for those particular ride characteristics, but maybe someone else can help ya...

I guess what I am thinking is that if I can get a slight lift and at the same time soften the ride just a bit then I 'd like to do it.
