Throw a couple of 60 lbs sand bags in the bed. Old trick my grandfather showed me years ago. Has improved the ride in every truck I’ve owned. Add a third when you go to the snow.

The good news is if you don't like the ride it's only around $200 for the rear shocks. I didn't like the side to side rocking leaving my condo parking lot. I swapped the shocks an it was one of the best changes I made for me.

Good to know that the rear shocks may be all I need.

That is one nice looking Ranger you have. Mine will be a carbonized gray Lariat with the side steps as well

Thanks Kenny, I really like my truck a lot. I will probably change the nerf bars for the rock sliders but I really don't or won't need them as I don't plan on any radical off roading but you never know.

We got the FX4, 4x4, XLT, we find no issue with the shocks, tires at 38psi.(as per sticker)
A little 'bouncy' maybe sometimes, but compared to my car it's like a Cadillac.
Seems people with FX2 don't have this issue.

I believe most of the issues with suspension come from the FX4 suspension. It definitely felt a bit wallowy and unsettled, under dampened, and generally just rolly polly. I don't believe the standard suspension setups are like this. I ended up swapping out the rear shocks for FOX 2.0s, and that significantly improved the ride quality. And today I just installed FOX 2.0 coilovers in the front, and now the ride is great.

Ah heck! Just sell it, and buy an old Lincoln town car. If literally floats like a boat!

I like a firm ride so I installed Eibach’s adjustable front coil overs and rear shocks, much better. Also added a sway bar.
Now I’m looking for a dual rear shock setup.

Thanks for all the reply’s. I guess I will see if it ever gets built.

I looked into the sway bar but after installing the aftermarket shocks it firmed up the rear an it rode better an IMO handled better.

My door panel says to do 30psi. I’ve been feeling like it’s pretty bumpy at 40

This is my third Ford pickup.

1st was a 2004 F-150 Heritage Supercab 2x2 (actually the last of the 2003 body style). Ride was best described as "jiggly". Translated means rough.

2nd was a 2019 F-150 XL Supercab 2x2. Ford finally figured out how to offer a smooth ride- big improvement.

Current model is a 2020 Ranger FX2. Ride is again "jiggly", back where I started with the 2004 model. The ride is best described as smooth over smooth pavement but rough over rough pavement.
