    Update; I took the truck in and had the left cab bushing replaced and we decided to cut half of the rubber springs off and it made a huge difference in the ride quality.

    The walking beam rear suspension is the biggest problem. With a moffet truck, you’re essentially driving a teeter-totter, with no suspension. Find an air-ride moffet truck and go test drive it. You’ll see what I mean.

    It’s got leafs in the back, we can live with it now. It’s a lot better than it was. The freightliner before rode better but didn’t handle the weight near as well.

    The rear leafs on our truck were FLAT when the truck was UNLOADED. Obviously worn out. BAD !

    Have a look at your springs to see if they still have a good ARCH to them. With no load.
