Get your truck back or you'll never see it again. lol

If you're just driving it over normal flat roads it'll be alright. Going off road you really notice it especially over washboards. But those curbs at the mall are getting pretty big too. ?
HA! It's registered in her name :crackup::crackup::crackup:
Not too much offroad here.
I just wanted to pull a TT, way too much truck/gizmos for me.
You have a great backyard for this truck.

Thought I had a low tire on my last road trip but remembered it's "frost heave" season here so every car bounces on the road. Snow country people will understand.
Here in Missouri we get frost heave during the winter months and severe buckling during the summer months. And MODOT's idea of paving is to chip seal the roads. And chip seal pops right out of all the pot holes when the first overloaded farm truck drives down the road.

There are plenty of hilly and curvy roads with pot holes and deep ruts from overweight farm trucks where I live. And I drive my Ranger like I stole it through the curves. I still have no complaints about the ride of my XLT FX4 after almost 20,000 miles. I run my Hankook tires at the recommended 38 PSI according to the manual. I don't have any issues with the truck bouncing even when I push it hard enough for the traction control to kick in around the curves.

But then again I am also use to driving military trucks too.

Good for you, been through the same but I changed my rears with Eibach and a world of difference. Check it out, you’ll be surprised

I'll save my money by not buying aftermarket shocks or a damper. ?
