i can only compress the front end 1/4" and the ride is really bad. do i need to do a scan to find the problem? thanks roger
 
Hey Rodger can you give us an little more detail.

You can push the front bumper down only a 1/4 only a inch. ???

Does it have a lift kit on it.  ???
 
no lift ,stock. i just bought it bout 4 weeks ago.
front is really stiff when you push down on it , i open the hood and push steel afraid to break the bumper .LOL
thought maybe needs shocks, but could it be a electronic issue in the auto ride system ?
you can feel every little crack in the road.
any ideas would be welcome, thanks ROGER
 
What size are the tires and rims?
 
Randy, the wheels are 18", tires are 265/65 r  18" Bridgestone duelers a/t .
why do you ask, just curious.    Thanks , Roger
 
What brand of shocks do you have. You do have a LTZ model right.
 
Is this the first time you have owned a truck.
 
Take it to a shop and see what they say.
 
Naw no one can tell you what exactly is wrong on the internet because we are not there.

We can give you ideas what to look for sometimes it's better for someone to put some eyes on it.
 
I would agree. I have an LTZ with autoride and would consider the ride exceptional for a truck, but it is still a truck. You feel bumps, you feel the road.
 
ok guys, thanks. ill check the dealer, maybe put a scan on it.
dont want to replace shocks if not needed.

Roger
 
Better yet go find friend with similar truck and ride his to compare rides...

 
bounced on a friends , his was stiff to with only 36000.
gonna take the dueler a/t 6 yrs old, and put new le2 firestone next month.
i think they got a mail in rebate.
