Hey guys new to the forum here. I purchased a new 2017 1500 RAM three weeks ago and it just seems to ride rough. I've adjusted the air pressure to 35 psi and that helped some but not much. I've had them at the suggested 39psi and it made the ride even worse.

All these reviews about a smooth ride but I'm not impressed.

Any thoughts?

What did you drive previous? It is a nice ride for a truck. A lot smoother than my buddies f150. A lot better than my 97 ram. It’s not a car by any means

My truck rides nice and smooth, but if you're driving over bumps, you are bounced around quite a bit, but that's expected.

My previous Ram and now my 17 ride plenty smooth for a truck. I ran air pressure on factory tires at 39.

My new Ram rides like creamy butter, smooth as can be, gives me plenty of glee.

Is yours a Sport with the 22" wheels? My '13 was a Laramie with 20" wheels and it rode a hell of a lot smoother than my '17 Sport with the 22" wheels. I chalk it up to the smaller sidewall on the tires.
