Suspension

[Attakracer]

Is everybody happy with the ride of this truck ?? Maybe its just my truck, but it feels like the shocks are shot !!! (800 miles) It just doesn't feel like the suspension is working right !
Just looking for a little feedback as I have the only one within 200 miles so I can't compare with another one !!!!! Let me know what you all think of yours !!

It's bouncy in street, try sport.

what modes are you in? cold tire pressures? what wheels? and finally what terrain?

I drive in all the terrains and have NEVER been happier with a suspension setup in my life. There are a few spots around town that trip up the computers though and that makes for a horrible little calibration experience every time.

I love my suspension and ride quality. i even have a faulty front strut on order throwing the "service active dampening" code. Still rides like a dream, just cant change the suspension modes until they fix it (new strut). The suspension performs flawlessly, can hit 100 mph on the most beat to shit dirt roads and feels like the interstate then on the street it feels incredibly planted and what i like . I have zero qualms. Much better than trx and raptor i have driven. The raptors have loose ass ends that love to walk all over the place and do not feel as planted, the trx are just heavier and feel less stable with the heavy front end. If your having issues maybe have the dealership take a look.

To me street and Baja could use better rebound control. There is always going to be a compromise when your suspension has multiple modes. However I do think it could be improved.

Yeah, I asked my dealer to look at it and I got the deer in the headlight look !!!

I've tried that and its a little better but not much, and not worth messing up the shift points (killing milage) in my opinion ! Maybe it would be !!! Has anybody tested the difference in milage between modes ???

Edit the suspension setting in your Auto mode.

Sport suspension shouldn’t adjust your shift points. Sport transmission definitely does, though!

I’m driving in Sport suspension much of the time and I’m averaging over 15mpg.

I have to imagine I’d be around 10mpg in sport transmission, though. That engine loves to sit at 3k+rpm in that mode!

Yes !!!!! Like the shocks aren't working for a split second and you get a little bounce ! Just seems "not right" !!

OK, so how do you only adjust the suspension ??? Like do you run auto MODE and change the suspension in that mode ?

Yes !! its not "bad" It just doesn't feel "right" or Good". Not near as good as it should be (or is supposed to be !!!)

Yes, exactly that. Auto mode - adjust settings (bottom right button) - mash on that Sport setting under the suspension options.

OK, I''ll try again !! It didn't work when I tried before ! Silly question ... do you have to be stopped when you change it ??!?!?!

No.

Not at all, and it’s more fun if you don’t, too!

When I first changed mine, I swore they were all similar… now that I’ve put quite a few miles into each, I can definitely tell a major difference. It really does sound like Sport Suspension mode is what you’re looking for. Good luck!

I've tried sport a few times and at first I thought it was better, but after a few tries it doesn't seem much different !! Sadly !! But I'll give it a try when I get it switched in the Auto mode !! Thanks all for the input !!

Ill get flack for this but...I am disappointed in the suspension feel vs the 24 Raptor EB I came from. I will admit some.od that may be the LT tires. Wish the wheels were 17" so it wild be easier to find light 37" tires. 18" tire selection is woefully limited for these trucks.

Raptor was smooth but not as sporty when turning. I could hop a curb and barely notice. The RHO doesn't feel much different that my 19 Ram Longhorn with 2" Mopar lift.

Sport mode is less bouncy but why would street, which is less firm, be bouncy at all. Baja definitely softens the suspension but then it floats like an old Lincoln.

Love the truck but the suspension is not on par with the Raptor in my opinion.
