0K.... So my Maverick has the FX4 suspension package.
The ride, especially in this cold arctic blast , is way too harsh IMHO. And the seat cushions are hard.
My F350 crew cab dually rides better than the Maverick.
I'm a crabby old bastard but I have driven millions of miles in beat up, worn out OTR trucks that have a better ride.
So I'm going to start looking for replacement shocks and springs for the truck. The high pressure rear gas shocks have got to go. Then I will assess the ride and see if a spring change is needed.
I have a source in the dirt track racing world that may be able to make a cudtom rate spring if needed.
This isn't going to happen overnight. I don't have heat in my shop this winter and I just pulled a hamstring muscle last week so my mobility is a bit restricted.
Then theres my 60 hour per week part time driving job...
Stay tuned for more complaining
