Guys, this thread is no different than the threads about people buying too much rv for their trucks. Most of the posts are geared at the dealers for not checking on what they are going to tow with. Ninety percent of the time the dealer catches hell over that when all in all the buyer should have done the research. Yes the is the same type thread just turned around and everyone wants to blame the buyer. Come on guys, give me a break.
OP, you are going to have to try some of the stuff people posted on here because complaining about the problem at hand over and over is not going to fix the problem, the truck is still going to ride the same. Nature of the beast. Try some of the options that have been given to you and report back or trade it for another 2WD Mega Cab and have a less capable, better riding truck.
You're right on all levels...
I'll just "take it a man" and deal with it. Buy some sandbags, deflate the tires and shut up.
But just because I'm a "chick" doesn't mean guys don't relate to this especially the guys that needed a truck like this and knew exactly what they were buying. For them it was a necessary evil because they haul cargo then have to deal with driving the truck back empty and the rough ride.
I also think I'm in the wrong forum because I found great advice here...but no sympathy. Without posting my problem I found lots of guys trying to figure out how to deal with this on Dodge and truck forums. And yes...many guys fabricating their seats into "air suspension rides". But until I find someone who wields a welding torch with skill and can fabricate ....I'll be shopping for sand bags and sand.
If you want an air seat just go to a big truck(semi) accessories shop and take your pick. They usually have them lined up against the wall and aired up for you to try out.
Remember though, it's not going to change the ride of the truck it's just going to let you go up and down farther when you hit the bumps. If your truck rides like mine did it will jump sideways on some of the overpasses and that is just going to put you head into the headliner. Been there done that. I drive big trucks at work and I run with the seat practically flat.
