I bought a used 2005 Silverado, with 148 K miles. The truck seems to be in good to very good condition. (BTW it had 4000 hours on the clock, with 37 ave. MPH = mostly highway driving). The Silverados typically have almost a car like ride, but this ones ride feels very stiff, like its a 3/4 or 1 Ton, or a 4x4. Part of the problem was a leveling kit, which I had removed. That cured about 40-50% of the issue. The truck also "skips" when going over a bump or ridge in the pavement, causing it to get a tiny bit off track for a second or two.
Any ideas? Would new shocks typically help? Would a softer tire help? It currently has Bridgestone Dueler H/T's 265/70-R17, which is two sizes larger than the stock 245's. My wife wants a smoother ride, and I am not sure how to attack this issue. Thanks.
