Someone please give me ideas to help with the ride quality of my 2019 LT trail boss.  I’m tired of going over small bumps in the road and feeling like I’m in the ring with Mike Tyson.  
 

I’ve played with the tire pressures but that doesn’t seem to help much.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

have 19 X31, it rides bad as well, hit bumps going around a corner and you think the back end is going to pass you up

Rancho shocks are to blame. They apparently aren’t what they used to be. Wish gm would stop selling these as an upgrade. We went through a set of rear shocks at 6000km and was replaced under warranty but now at 23000km they are failing again. It seems that rebound is way to high to make them feel like a stiff off-road shock and end up blowing a seal.

I recently went slow on a dirt road with some small washboard type ruts in the road.  I literally thought the truck was going to fall apart.  For being a “trail boss” this thing rides like crap unless it’s on a paved road.  Highway bridges also cause it to bounce like crazy.

My AT4 felt the exact same  Felt  like rear wheels were coming off the ground/which made towing scary at higher speeds.   Put on some of the bilst 5100 shocks and so much better.  seems stiffer over smaller bumps but i can tell it is stable on the ground.   The rancho shocks are pure garbage, the rebound rates are all wrong-soft ride but no stability.

I guess I'm the odd voice here, but my '19 TB LT rides great.  Waaaaay better than my '15 Ford Lariat FX4 that I put Bilstein 5100's on (front and rears).  Zero complaints from me on this issue.

      Trim level custom/pro

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
