Will anything make the ride smoother

Have someone check your tires. See if they are balanced, evenly worn, and fresh dates on them. You could be experiencing the beginnings of a tread seperation if they are old.
Then again I could be way off, it could be your shocks are worn out. Mine rides really smooth. I run 40-45 psi in the tires when using it around town and anyone who has been here knows that the streets here in L.A. are like driving in beirut in the 80's.

I run 55 psi on the tires , they are relative new , I found two problems , the shocks are bad but also there are a rubber mounts between the chassis and the cabin which may be worn . I hear a chirp there every time hit a bump ...

subscribed for updates here. my h2 rides really well, even with the boggers. i have a full aftermarket suspension though with piggy backs and all.
the first one i drove, definitely rode like a 2500 series truck, it was a bit rough and was noticeable at the first corner. Im not sure if they are all like that though, the one i drove was higher mileage and probably needed shocks.

My yellow rubber bumpstops on the front control arms are hitting the frame ..is that normal?Looks like my frame is sitting on them...no gap at all.. is this a sign that I need new front shocks?

Strange, the shocks don't really support any weight on the front end. its your torsion bars. they could be worn. Find out what your stock ride height was and check it to see if the front end is sagging alittle. If it is you can adjust it using the torsion bars to bring it back up to stock.

Now I realized the vibration Ive been talking may be a little sagging on the frot end ...
I will check the height tomorrow to be sure ...
Thanks for the input

Really that high, I've put 40 in mine once and it rode like a damn tank. 35 pounds I get the best ride and pretty decent gas milage.

I did noticed when I put them on 6 months ago but I thought it would just get smother as the tires get a few miles, well guess what nothing yet .. I will just hate to replace my tires with being on there for six months and a few hundred miles on them..

This is an old thread , I dont remember if I post where the chirp noise was coming from
it was the skid plate . One front bolt was loose, it was making that squirrel noise.
I replaced the shocks and ride improved a 50%
still having a rough ride but I g get used to it
