I have a 2017 1500 bug horn, 4wd crew cab.
All stock suspension except for a 2" leveling kit in the front.
Lately, it seems the ride is getting rougher and rougher. Little bumps on the freeway or street send the truck bouncing around (granted it's LA freeways, so they suck)
What should I look for to get a better ride? Don't know much about suspension really. Wouldn't mind lifting it a couple of inches, nothing crazy. 2 or 3 inches would be max. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

What kind of level do you have up front? Thats a start as if its a puck vs leveling coilover will help us determine a few things.

If it's a spacer level vs. taller springs and/or shocks, consider removing the spacer and doing an adjustable shock kit.

Replace your UCA with an aftermarket unit that has more adjustment in the upper ball joint or switch to uniball depending on which brand you go with. Get an alignment. Problem solved
