Will anything make the ride smoother
 
Hi Every1

I love my H2 but I cant stop complaining about how it rides , if the road is a little bumpy it makes my ride miserable , it feels like falling apart

I had a F150 , a Expedition and drove a diversity of other cars and trucks but never another Hummer . So I dont know if it is a problem with mine or a common issue

And Im not talking about the cabin plastic noises .

Any solution ? , Shocks may be too hard? , any thing will make it better ?
BTW I did check the front end and seems good .

2006 H2 70K miles

If cant be fixed I will have to learn how to live with that ... As selling it Isnt a option .
Thanks in advance

What are you running for tires and what size rims ?

Best way to see if its the truck or the breed, find a '06 at a dealership and take it for a spin...

Its the truck, not the breed. Any oem parts been changed out to aftermarket?

I was thinking more about it as I was dosing off at the wheel. It's not the breed, these things ride way too nice. Maybe the shocks are done for, or maybe your just getting old.. :D

No aftermarket parts , in fact Im still running the original rims , tires are Kumho 315/70/17
Yeah maybe it is just me getting old :mad: IM already 37 , I got the truck when I was 36 , Big difference LOL

KNowing isnt the breed then Im going to try to replace the shocks and do a professional inspection

Thanks all

I will be 49 next month and my 07 H2 Lux (no air suspension...) rides better than my Grand Cherokee! It IS a heavy vehicle with bigger tires and will ride differently. If the ride is THAT bad then I would check for a bad tire, blown shocks, dear caught in the drive shaft, etc... Could it also be that you expected a different ride than what the H2 can deliver? If you find something let us know!

I will post after the inspection , Tires are almost new , I will go first for the shocks ,
Having light trucks before I may be wanting a smother ride but even that Im sure something must be wrong , I will check and post . Thanks
