My 1986 C10 Silverado rides as smooth and quiet as any passenger car. Tires make a huge difference in ride quality. I have 2 sets of wheels and tires that I run on the truck. I have the original 15"× 8" Rally wheels with 235/75 -15 all season radials and I have a set of 225/50 -20 on aftermarket rims. I keep the pressure around 35psi. The 15's ride a little smoother because there is more sidewall to absorb bumps. I have stock coil springs and shocks in front with all new control arm bushings and ball joints. I'm also running 2 1/2" drop spindles. I have stock springs in the rear that I removed 3 leaves from for a lower stance. That also makes for a much softer ride. Regular street tires will make a huge difference.
