If you get a highway comfort tire like the Michelin M/S2 in the LT265/75-16 E-rated size and run them around 45 psi when you are unloaded, you'll get a much more comfortable ride. If you do the shocks it will be better as well. A slightly larger tire has greater load capacity, and a bigger volume of air so it can run slightly lower pressures and have less harshness.

LT 265/75 R 16 LRE Michelin highway tires .
I run mine at 50 psi .
for a few bucks more than the stock 245 size I believe i am getting another 10 % in tire mileage and the truck definitely corners better .
i did switch to an 8 inch wide Weld brand aluminum wheel for the 265 be4cause the stock 6.5 inch aluminums are just too narrow , even for the factory 245 tires .
