Harsh ride

My 2016, 2018, and 2021 were fine on smooth road surfaces. But so underdamped, especially in the rear, that they couldn't keep up with the normal road irregularities you encounter on today's decaying roads.
The 2022 has the new so called Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) and it's pretty good in Sport Mode and Tow Haul when I was back-to-back comparing the damping-maps, but comes up a little short in Normal mode. The front end is beautiful, but the empty bed rear is about 50% away from fixing the notorious railroad crossing or sharp bump sloppiness of the F150 rear suspension.

I'm working on it though. Lol
Got a plan. Would really like to rescue the one shortcoming from ruining the potential of the technology.
Thanks for the quick response!
 
My only complaint since owning my truck for 3yrs is the ride. It's rough.
I am currently running 275/70/18 BFGoodrich AT K02' s but honestly it doesn't affect it much as I have a set of stock wheels and tires that I swap over frequently.
I have driven many other F150s and mine has the most harsh ride.
I added Bilstein rear shocks last fall with little to no improvement. I have been thinking about doing the fronts just to try to mellow it out a little bit.
Is there anything besides that to try?

It's bad, any little bump or divit in the road has the whole interior rattling and the truck violently shaking for a second. My previous truck was a 2nd gen Ram 2500, straight front axle and it ride very similar to the F150 just for comparison.

This is very interesting. I just got a brand new F150 Lariat, special ordered, 2022, and i feel every crack and every bump in the road on it. I am surprised. My 2015 Silverado is a much smoother ride.
