It's a brand new truck, I wouldn't mess with springs or new shocks. Heck, try the different air pressures, I'd put 60 in the front and 45 in the back and see how the ride feels then...
Never did like TPMS, they're too fickle...some allow as much as 10% to be off, so I could be off up to 8# on a couple of my truck tires and be off as much as 11# on my 5er tires...WAYYY too much to go by a TPMS to protect me...I use my trusty gage and do it myself....
Okay a "duh" moment for me. What is TPMS? (And we get all over kids for texting LOL, TTYL...etc).
It's actually on the long runs while towing that are jarring, not the buzzing around town. Around town I'm really not in the truck long enough for it to bother me....but 3+ hours on a long trip.....bump, bump, bump....ugh, my back! (not to mention any body fat jiggling around like jello!)
During towing we will need to bring tire inflation to specs....this the jarring ride will go on.
I think the sandbag idea is something to try on a budget first and see how that goes.
