Your sig doesn't say much, other than it's a F-250 XL. Is it 2/4 wheel drive? Diesel? Cab size? Bed length?
2WD, Gas, Crew Cab, loooong
Thanks, guys. I knew you'd come through for me. I drove it unloaded because I was going to work. Not sure they'd approve of me dragging the Whaleboat to work, even if I could get into the parking deck.
I'll tell DH to try leaking the air out and see how it drives. He wants to take it up to the lake in about 2 weeks, which is only about a 25 min drive. I'll already getting anxious about it--it really is that wonky. If it's gonna take 1000 miles or more to break these babies in, it's gonna be a problem. I cannot drive this tank into Atlanta and all points N-S-E-W as I do home visits all over the state of Georgia. I don't even want my kids to ride in the truck.
Sure, you can try a little less pressure when empty, but for pete's sake, DO NOT UNDERFLATE TO 50%! Be smart. Find what works for your truck, but do not go outside the safe values ;)
Another idea- try putting some weight in the bed and see if it stabilizes the ride. Maybe 500-1000lbs? A little load may balance your truck and allow its suspension to do its job.
