I am in the experimental stage to see, what I can do to reduce the ride harshness. I looked closely how Kelderman is doing this, and I try to mimic it as much as possible.
I am in the lucky situation that my son is a master mechanic at the largest Ford Dealer in the state, and has all the tools and information available to play around with the chassis.

I have done all other possible modifications, except Sumo springs in the back. I might put those in or air bags, to push some of the weight towards the front.
