W900 rough ride

What brand shocks u put on? I used the cheap ones from truckpro this last time and it rode good for bout 2 months then slowly back to crap. Gonna try a more pricey brand shortly to see if it will improve. Only other thing i may think mine might be is the spring bushings are about shot. Just havent had the time to tackle all 12 of those yet. I have the same setup as you just fyi.

 

Correction, i have same suspension, but low pros all the way around. Two years ive had new kingpins, shocks twice, new airbags, leveling valves. Shocks made the only difference i could tell.

 

Tie rods, king pins and shocks arent going to change the rough ride. neither are airbags. Was that way when you bought it. Its the nature of the truck and setup that you bought. Nothing else that you throw at it is going to be a magical solution. There is no special expensive shock absorber that will make difference between night and day. What was the last truck and suspension you had if you dont mind me asking. And excuse the straight foreward nature of me. its just how i am

 

if thats the case, you can make slight improvements. But other than that. you wont be able to duplicate the cadillac feeling of your last ride. Whatever improvements you make, they wont be dramatic on a holy s...t factor brother. Just gonna have to live with it

 

just remeber, what seems rough to you, is pure heaven to others. Test drive a mack and you will know what i mean

 

i dont mind a rough ride. but im a local owner operator with a 20 year old pete. I kinda enjoy the old school feel. even with bags on my truck. But yeah, if you over the road hauling, i could see that being a problem
