Default How to get a better ride?

Okay so i know im going to hear: "It's a truck deal with it" But has anyone had any luck with getting some better suspension or polyurethane bushings on their truck to make a softer ride. I live on a dirt road and i go down side ways because of how bumpy it is. or is weight in the back my only option?

Same problem here, I live on a dirt road as well and even with weight (unless it's my boat) not much helps to soften it up.

Get some nice shocks, take care of your joints, and Keep proper tire pressure!

Maybe add 200 lbs, i did so this winter and it did not hinder my 4L performance and improved the ride quality 10 times more, especially over pot holes.
