How do you guys like the ride of a 2019 raptor

[Subnet]

Picked up a 2019 Screw 2 weeks ago. Fully loaded, good deal, it sat on the lot for 5 months. Battery was dead, no test drive before purchase.

First drive reminded me of an old tractor.

Lowered psi from 49 to 38, that helped alot. Also asked dealer to road force balance the tires. Tires failed due to flat spots.

New tires made a big difference, but still excessive bounce in the rear between 30 - 50 mph.

After comparing with another Raptor on the lot, noticed difference in ride quality and rear end height, mine about 1.5" low. Having rear springs replaced this week.

Traded in my 2017 Denali 1/2 on a 2019 R and have had lots of trucks and the R rides great .
What mod are test trucks set on ?
My tires were set at 42 and dropped them to 38 but also I changed to the KM3 before It even left the lot .
Also Eibach springs before I picked up so my review might be worthless? Lol
Still great ride from the Denali and the 2016 1/2 ton EB ford I had before that .
Cheers

I run about 34 psi and I take speed bumps literally, I speed over them. Rides great, way better than my Jeep did.

Thanks man I would greatly appreciate it would def help me decide I think on whether to pull the trigger.

So i dropped the pressure and it definitely feels smoother. Not a ton but a bit. I hope it’s not all mental but it feels a bit more natural.

I have to say I love driving this truck. It’s definitely a truck but i love the ride.
