Ram 2500 rough ride question
I own a 2018 RAM 2500 CTD and I have a question about the rough ride. I've had quite a few 1/2 ton trucks but this is my first 2500. When I first purchased the truck I noticed a shimmy when driving on...

There's 2-3 people here who would make you think these 2500 rear coil spring trucks ride like a Cadillac. Having said that having realistic expectations on ride quality is the realistic solution.
For me, I knew what to expect because I've had a solid front axle 4x4 before, so I knew it wasn't gonna be as smooth as the 1/2T I had before, but the feeling of having a vibration similar to a tire out of rotation, bent rim or defective tire about to throw a belt isn't.
Last time I had this problem, my tires were close to being needed to be replaced and they couldn't balance the vibration out.l It took a new set of tires to get rid of the problem.
I personally don't have great faith in Firestone because most manufacturers put on the cheapest tires they can get. I've read, but can't locate an article that suggested many mfgs make 2 sets of the tires. One that originally go on the car, and the ones that replacements, which are generally better ones. IDK if it's true or not.
