Found my Ranger bounce fix:
1. Towed something with heavy tongue weight for 2000 miles (Max allowable-700 lbs+.)
2. Replace rear shocks (Preferred 2.0 Fox $250)
3. Place at least 3 sandbags in bed forward of wheel wells (60lbs each for total of 180lbs)

Result: Truck now level and an absolute dream to drive.
I had to replace 6 very heavy 6volt batteries the other day and on the way to and from I noticed a BIG ride difference...

Try a twin screw dump truck prior to air suspension. They define rough ride with out a payload.

Or a brand new unladen fire (pumper) truck, you'll want to wear a kidney belt when driving that.

In service, but unladen pumpers are better with regards to ride quality...
