F-53 needs chassis improvements and it will be a nice quiet ride..
Here's what I did and its as different as day to night..
I replaced the Bilstein shocks with Monroe RV shocks because they ride smoother and less banging on bumps, 4 air bags, 2 in front at 25 psi and rear at 55 psi, sound proof doghouse and floors under driver/passenger seat and moved sway controls to firm setting to help with sway and installed 4 centramatic balancers on all tires to make tire ride smoother..
The ride quality went way up and its so quiet I can hear my self think..
Cheaper than going to a DP..
