A smoother ride I carry 120 lbs of concrete in the bed of my 1930 pickup truck. It makes the ride better. Any one else tried this?

Re: A smoother ride A VERY well know phenomenon. The ratio of sprung and unsprung weights is changed in favour of a softer ride.

Re: A smoother ride Shocks are good.

Re: A smoother ride I have 150 pounds of coal in the trunk of my 30 coupe. Didn't notice much change.

Re: A smoother ride 300 lbs of cement on each running board works too, don’t even have to lift them, i pull up to the trough and cut the top off the bag.

Re: A smoother ride Thats an advantage I have with the Fordor. Heavier body = smoother ride. I notice the difference vs coupe.

Re: A smoother ride Also depends on the spring/shock system. My Fordor has aftermarket tubular shocks in back which makes for a choppy ride at low speeds. OK at higher speeds. You can adjust the stock shocks. You should adjust them for the season, summer vs. winter.
