My Maverick rides very rough. Has anyone changed the shocks for a better ride?

Check tire pressure first dealer set mine at 45 and should be 34 I changed it to 34 rides much better truck came with (18” Michelin tires)

At this point, I think I noted from other posts that aftermarket shocks were not available other than for modded off-road suspensions. May be something now or any day now, however.

Copared to other pickups, it rides very smooth. If you want it to ride better, put at lest 500 lbs of stuff in the bed. Shocks won't help one bit.

Aftermarket stock style shocks are not available for it yet. Only coilovers for lowered and lifted.

Mine came of the dealership with 46,45,43,41 psi. Very rough ride. I lowered the psi to 35. Nice comfortable ride now.

What was the pressure in the spare?

It’s a mini spare and they usually come with 50 psi but did not check

It’s also running with nitrogen in the tires

Saw this so checked mine, rides fine. 780 miles now.
40 40
39 38

Mine rides great. 33-34 psi cold all four corners.

Maybe the OP still has the 40 psi I had when the truck was shipped.

As others noted - check the PSI in your tires first.

I know a few Tremor owners have replaced their suspensions already - you could probably get their shocks and springs for a reasonable price.

Come on, its a truck and not an impala. Its the softest riding truck that I've ever been in, and its actually softer than most Japanese and German vehicles. What was your previous vehicle that rides like it has worn-out shocks?

If the truck rides too firm, you need softer springs. Then you would want different shocks to avoid being over-damped. The shocks are not what cushions you, they dampen the springs so you aren’t bouncing up and down as you drive down the road

Found his previous vehicle. Grampa needed a truck.
