Just curious if there are ane reasonable ways to smooth out the choppy ride on the 2wd models. I searched and found several for the 4wd, but a 2wd solution eludes me. Any good options that do not adversly affect 5th wheel towing?

Thanks,

Doug

A set of superduty rear springs might help, maybe some bilstein's too [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

I went with Kelderman air suspension & Bilsteins.

That Kelderman system looks nice, and I hear great things about it, bit it's spendy! How much benefit is there over regular airbags? Anyone added airbags and pulled a leaf, or had the springs re-arched, or went with a softer spring pack with the bags making up the difference?

On my 4WD I put Bilsteins on and took off the front and rear sway bars. Changing them two items made a real difference in the ride.
