I just a bought a used 2500 with BDS leveling kit and the Fox shocks.
This truck rides like a covered wagon on an uncharted trail. I am not new to 2500's or leveling and lift kits. This is the worse vehicle I have ridden in in years.

1. Whoever had it didn't rotate the tires 35x12.5x20 on stock 20's Open Country MT's. This may be a pick part of my problem but it isn't all.

2. I have never been a fan of Fox shocks on trucks. Anyone running these? if so, what are your thoughts on them?

3. Could it be the shocks are tuned for the weight of a diesel and not a gas engine? I have the 6.4l

Anything else I possibly could be missing?
TIA!

Below is a link to the kit I believe is on the truck.

2014-2015 Dodge / Ram 2500 Pickup 6" lift kit 1604H | BDS Suspension

Tire pressure has a lot to do with ride quality with a 3/4-1 ton trucks. I run mine some where around 55-60 psi. Smooths the ride out a lot. It's possible that the previous owner bought a kit ment for a diesel and not for a gas truck. In that case new shocks won't help, you'll need a whole new kit.

aired them all down. Fronts to 60 rear to 65. It made a little difference but not much.
