Default 2007 Classic silverado 2500HD Smoother ride??

I have a 2007 Classic Silverado 2500HD 2WD. Its crew cab and LONG BED, so its a very long truck. It only has 67,000 miles on it and truck is in perfect working order, had a full inspection on it before buying it.


I am wanting to get a slightly smoother ride over bumps on road. I am getting medium purpoising. When I first bought the truck, I put on 4 new NAPA GRANDE shocks to attempt to get it smoother. I realized this is a 2500HD so it wont be as smooth as cars and SUVS. After all it tows the 7,000 pounds I ask it to like a dream.


Anything else I can do to get it smoother?
Also, it has 10 ply Load range E tires on it. Fronts are at 55 psi and rears at 70psi I THINK.
Thanks in advance!

Bilstein 5100s are some of the best shocks you can get. Like you said though, it's a 2500hd, comfort and ride don't really go in the same sentence here.

country 05- How much does a set of 4 Blistens run?
Do you think they would be much of an improvement over my newly installed NAPA Grandes?

230-260 range for all 4, and yes they should be a big improvement from over the counter type shocks. They're some of the best shocks I've ever ridden on
