An odd question for all you prerunner guys that don't tow to the races. I have a 95 f-150 that just wants to rattle apart on certain freeways. Example interstate 10 east bound. East of the 15 fwy. The road is pretty messed up there, and it is bumpy for any car but honestly my truck is trying to rattle apart. The truck is on 16" 2.5 king coils in front and 16" 2.5 king bypass' in the rear. I suspect that a valving adjustment in the rear bypass may help but don't know for sure. More/less rebound? More/less primary? I have only messed with the air in the shocks 90lbs, 10lbs, 55lbs. Not much of a difference.
I do realize that a truck "that" modified will never ride like a benz and the bypass shocks aren't meant to be adjusted for better fwy. driving but rattling my teeth loose is a bit much. Oh, there is no bed just a rear cage, deavers (spring pack was lightened) spare 37" tire and glass. Maybe not enough weight for the shocks to work? Any suggestions or others with this problem.
