Looking for a better ride on the truck…
Many here may know that I sold my camper some 3 years or so ago. I had it all set up to haul and carry that weight. Now that it is used occasionally, sans the camper, I am noticing how rough it ride...

But I think my best bet is to try to simulate what more comfortable riding trucks use for components. I think I might try swapping out the stock 1-ton rear leaf springs to 1/2 ton springs. I am sure a local spring shop could do this but not sure if the ride will be too soft.
I know everyone wants to “up” their truck to carry weight safely… since I do not have the camper, I want to do the reverse. I thought about going to half ton wheels but feel the swap to accommodate 5-lug wheels is too much work.
If you think these 2 mods are even remotely feasible things to do, then you should re-consider your plans and be suspect of any "good" modification ideas you may come up with, going forward.
Drop tire pressures to the min for weight. If you can't stand the suspension, off road fab shops like Carli and Thuren have very compliant spring packages. sky's the limit, or more accurately, your wallet is the limit.
BTW are you saying you haven't dropped tire pressure from presumably more than you need? That's like a 5 minute exercise and free.
