Any way to get rid of the bounciness? Almost feels like it's underdamped, maybe in order to handle high payloads. Is there a way to tune/replace the damping to make it ride a bit better?

Bouncy? Take a ride in a Mach E.

Very surprised with the rise quality in my 23 Platinum. Traded up from a 13 Limited with 60k on it. Second set of tires Michelin Premier (don't recommend tread depth low from start). Tires were worn suspension all stock and had a much better ride quality than the Lightning.

Something happened to this thread. I too sold a 2013 Lariat to buy a 2022 Lightning and I too don’t like the ride when empty. The Lighnings have coil rear springs but even 2023 gas 150s have the leaf springs that are designed so not all the leaves are in play if the truck is lightly loaded. I would like to solve this. (Maybe new coil springs and coil-over shocks?)

Did the new shocks affect your range?
