Advice on suspension and steering updates

[MikeinJaxHemi]

I have a 2014 Laramie 2WD with 115,000 miles on it. I’ve decide I’m gonna keep it a while longer and since it’s all paid off and looks great I wanted to make it ride like new again. It does still ride good on a smooth road but when it’s bumpy it feels like it may need some updates. What parts or components should I look into updating just so I can enjoy it for at least 5 more years. Shocks and struts? Tied rod ends? Bushings? Lower control arms? What parts wear out and make the biggest impact for the least amount of money? I figure if I take it into a shop they will just replace all that stuff or maybe I can find a honest mechanic that will just do what is needed. Any advice or should I just keep on trucking and save that money.

Honest mechanics are almost as rare as an honest politician... LOL Not to say they're not out there and usually their reputation is passed word of mouth. Maybe some members on this forum in Jacksonville FL area will give a shout out!.
Most likely your shocks are what's giving you the bumpy ride. If you like a soft ride, consider going back with the OEM shocks, if not there's a few others that are regularly recommended on this forum. Fox, Rancho, and Bilstein are amongst the top ones, although some people describe Bilsteins as being able to run over a quarter and you can tell if it's heads or tails.
