Soooooo, I've been stalking this Thread for a while, thoroughly appreciate it btw. Some general thoughts and looking for feedback given MY application:
-My truck is a family hauler - as plush ride as possible... ALWAYS. It broke my heart the other day when my 3 year old said his neck hurt when going over bumps in the neighborhood at low speed and the sideways rocking was (as usual), shitty.
-Yes, I occasionally will throw 3-4k lbs in the bed, I have no immediate usage for towing, maybe eventually
-Full, every option E-Venture setup for 7.3 gasser (its a '22 Year).
Through lots of trial/error and taking Carli's guidance, Ive determined with stock wheels/tires, cold pressure is 32 psi front, 33 psi rear. Unloaded, of course, this naturally increases tire pressure on highway 3-4* getting up to Carli's recommended 36 psi.
Using this methodology, thus far, with factory wheels/tires - I've noticed a massive increase in comfort.
That said, given my application, I am theorizing the best path is to do:
-17 inch wheels
-37 or 38 inch Recon Grapplers (yes i have the Carli Trophy hitch)
-Run these tires at 40 PSI and see how it goes
Thoughts? 'Would love any C&C on this. I've become greatly encouraged by what I'm seeing in just my results so far as previously I was thinking I would have to turn this truck in for a Raptor to get acceptable ride quality.
