"BFG K03 tires. The ride is rough". Well, you may try Michelin defender ltx
Do you have the HD towing package too?
if yours doesn’t have CCD and does have Heavy Duty trailer tow, that ride would be sporty but harsh, just like mine. I can yank that thing around around corners, it isn’t funny. But a comfy ride on some rougher roads, nope. Mine is just about as harsh than my GT500 lowered on Eibach’s.
You gotta figure out what your going to use it for. I just bought a stealth with CCD and the ride is firm and handling is great. I'm thinking you are going in the wrong direction with the tires to get a softer ride. As was suggested, try a set of Michelins. To find out how your truck is equipped run the VIN# at the dealer. Perhaps on line.
I love the feel of them, I can adjust the dampening rate from soft to firm for those quick hits such as potholes or road imperfections. They soak up hits and don’t transfer the harshness through the cab. I agree they are pricey but besides Kings, there is nothing like them available for this generation expedition.
The ply difference will absolutely be noticeable. Going from what was probably a load range E tire to an LT tire will make the ride feel plush, compared to the stiff E range tires.
While I don’t think there are suspension differences between the years, there are differences between the trim levels and having HD trailer tow or not. Same with the sway bars.
