Nice set up. It’s because they are LT, 10 ply tires. I did the same thing but luckily they make the size I got in P metric and the tire shop swapped them. But seeing that camper in the background it seems that you need the LT for hauling. Try airing down to 35-40 when you’re not towing. This will help some.

Maybe it's time to swap to a RAM. Those ride much better than any F150 truck. I find mine quite comfortable both on the factory 20s and the 33" 18s on it right now.

Oh, that's cruel. True, but cruel. :ROFLMAO:
Sorry to go off topic. I was amazed at ridgeline ride quality. My wife is from a truck family, so I gave in to order f150 vs ridgeline.

And, payload is greater than my Lariat PB.

Op hasn't been back. I didn't love my 2020 ride or the 2018 Silverado I had but this one is just amazing. I've never drove a truck that rides anywhere near this nice.

I did make sure I got the single rear + thick overload though. Max tow and powerboost get the bigger pack. That and oem 18's on oem tires at 35psi cold. It's a great ride.

yeah my Ram’s rear end does ride smoother than my Ford for sure.

Yup my Rams have all been way better on ride. Even my 2500 which had air suspension. Now my ram 3500 had leaf springs and was just like the Ford.
it’s not just Ford all leaf spring trucks are going to ride rough. I remember having an F550 with a truck bed and took my buddies to lunch and they never wanted to ride in the truck empty again lol.

In a similar vein, my truck has the max tow package which I believe includes a stiffer suspension (?). Would the new FP+Bilstein kit play with max tow? Any opinions on the kit’s affect on street driving?

I predict you would find the improvement impressive.

I have a Superduty for that camper. Yeah, I can only find LT in the size I bought. I’m only running 35PSI and it’s a lot harsher than the stock tires.
