A smoother ride

I carry 120 lbs of concrete in the bed of my 1930 pickup truck. It makes the ride better. Any one else tried this?
thanks : Dean
 
A VERY well know phenomenon. The ratio of sprung and unsprung weights is changed in favour of a softer ride.
 
300 lbs of cement on each running board works too, don’t even have to lift them, i pull up to the trough and cut the top off the bag.
 
Thats an advantage I have with the Fordor. Heavier body = smoother ride. I notice the difference vs coupe.
 
Also depends on the spring/shock system. My Fordor has aftermarket tubular shocks in back which makes for a choppy ride at low speeds. OK at higher speeds. You can adjust the stock shocks. You should adjust them for the season, summer vs. winter.
