Rough Rider

[dash]

well there's your answer.... weight will smoothen the ride, not shocks. Not made to dampen stiff springs
Softer sprung with good shock will getcha a nice car-like ride, at the expense of load carrying capacity

A cousin contacted that company with the huuugggeee add in Truckin magazine back in the day
Goal was a smooth daily ride 94 chevy 1500 with a 4/6 drop. Accepted the compromise
New leafs, low front springs, drop spindles, short shocks later... a sharp looking, decent handling pickup with a shockingly smooth ride
I told him it rode better than his LS400 Lexus. He said he was tryin to convince himself that, "it ain't so".


typical chevy trucks stock; springy cushioned seats, tall tire, softer springs r smoother than the mitsu

May be so, but they won't carry what the 'light pick up Mitsu' can handle. But then go and drive the alternatives. Nissan - horrid handling and ride. Toyota - underpowered and bland. Been saying it forever - every vehicles' got it's quirks and the Mitsu truck wasn't meant to be a sports car, it's a work horse.
