Smoothing the ride out

[MarkO]

Hi all,

I have a '65 3/4-ton 4x4 t-all that rides a little on the rough side unless you have about a half ton of ballast in the back.

Any suggestions to smooth the ride out short of hauling around a bunch of ballast all the time?

Thanks in advance.

They are pretty much just built that way. You could look at switching over to a Chevy spring or removing a leaf or two. Also what shocks are you running. Ranchos will knock your teeth out. A good set of bilstiens will go a long way to smoothing out a ride.
