You def need to be going faster then that on the straight stretches. Dont go so fast where you are out of control but you really are not allowing the suspension to work for you. You will see that the faster you go (up to a point) the ride will smooth out more and more.
Tell your dad to stop being a *****.

Oh and even with 3.0's you are still going to have a similar ride at those speeds. The 3.0's will just soak up more (and larger) bumps when you are at speed allowing you to go even faster.

Ok here is what I would do if I had private land like you have in your video's, and I'm serious about this. Forget the Raptor, sure it could be fun out there, but not near as much as a fully built STi or Evo. Slap a set of gravel tires on one of those things, invest in a set of Ohlins, tune, cage it and get nuts. It would be way more fun than a Raptor could ever be on that stuff.

Are you the owner of the Silver 2012 I have seen in Santiago? We are sometimes visiting friends there...

does it come in shmedium?
17" rims 37" tires and air down to 25psi. That will do more for those roads than all the suspension stuff you keep talking about.

SO Air down your tires, stop being a ****** and hit the gas pedal, andmake sure you lock the diff, offroad mode and turn off traction control. like everyone else has said your going to slow. 3.0's are made to compress and rebound on the bigger bumps. shoot the bumps on these little washboard gravel roads will barely be able to move the shock, might even be more rough. Quit bitchin about the truck and its suspension learn how to drive it.
Hey i sent you a PM
