[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1008674, member: 52972"] Kate, While I think the the Roadmaster Active Suspension system is a great design, it is really design to reduce sagging and swaying on vehicles when towing or with heavy loads. Even the Roadmaster website states that it does not change your normal ride. If your shocks are new and in good condition, then you are experiencing the harsher ride that all trucks have because of the stiffer suspension components to handle the loads that the truck is design to carry. Yes, it is possible to get softer springs and better sway bars, but that can be expensive and ends up reducing the truck's towing and weight capacity I also must admit that I am not sure what your complaint is??? Is the vehicle swaying too much on high speed corners, or is it transmitting too much of the bumps to the passengers? They are both two different issues and require different fixes? ...Rich [/QUOTE]
