Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Air seats for pickup?
Permalink  

Hi,

Our Ford F350 rides fairly well when we're towing, but is a ROUGH ride when we're out and about without the trailer, and that's more than half our total mileage. I've already lowered the pressure in the front tires and that's helped a little, but I'm sitll not happy.

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with air ride seats in a pickup. They are fairly expensive and I am hesitant to spring for them without some endorsements.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Fred

Fred, not exactly the same but I have a Chevy 4500 with all leaf springs and it rode really ROUGH! Desperate I decided to spring for the air seats, WOW what a difference. Cost me about $2300 for the seats and air compressor but well worth it. Still there is a bumpy ride and you can't do much about it but the seats cushion it. You really know it is helping when you go over a bump and you feel the seat compress. I am 100% glad I spent the money.

We  also have a Kodiak 4500 and it has Air Ride seats and Link Air ride suspension and our 4500 rides great.   We had a 3500 1 ton dually, it had a very harsh ride when on the interstate systems (Concrete divider's).   We were in the process of having a Link air ride suspension installed when we found the factory that upgrades RV TV in Elkhart Ind.  So since we have a heavy 5th wheel we decided to trade for the Kodiak 4500.   Just having Air ride seats will make the ride a lot different.   Try a Google search for Air ride seats, you will get there.  Good Luck...   Tmcblane like your web site.....  GBY......
