Poor ride on the E450 platform
Is there anything that will help the harsh, jarring ride from the rear of my Phoenix Cruiser on a E450 chassis?

^^^ Eggs-Act-Lee!!! And 80-PSI Rear multiplies out to the GAWR of the Rear Axle.
No E-Series 2007 and earlier should carry more than 60-PSI front, 75 for later models.
I may have mentioned, I specifically requested 60-PSI front but the tire shop did 80 all around. We nearly lost control on a down grade from a high rise bridge in a cross wind. I actually stopped on the shoulder and dropped the pressure. Running all 80 in the rear doesn't do much but worsen the ride a little.
Those who run "extra pressure" as some kind of "safety measure" are playing a game called "Outguess the Engineer."
