seems like I felt every bump on a bumpy interstate... smooth as can be on the newer road.... just something you get used to?

With 22s you’ll feel the year a quarter was stamped if you run it over. Get 18s or 20s

To me, our '19 ride is way better with the 22's than our '16 limited with 20’s was.

I have never had 22's but with all other tires I have had air pressure made a big difference in feel and I have found almost every place overfills tires. Anytime I am at the tire place I have to check the air pressure after because it will always be way over what it needs to be.

That or way under pressure. Most tire places, and even repair shops, inflate to door sticker pressure. The 22 inch tires have a stiff, short sidewall, that's why the choppy ride. Anytime you go to a lower profile tire, below 50, you'll get better handling through corner's, but unfortunately the trade off is a stiffer ride. Same goes for polyurethane bushings, or stiffer springs. Life's full of tradeoffs, stiffer, bigger tires is unfortunately one of them.

18's would be smoother, but the sidewall sway annoys me on taller sidewall tires!

On mine the recommended tire pressure is 39, when I run 37 I can tell a difference, much softer. I run 37 in summer and 39 winter.

This seems to be an issue with any expy type honestly. I have 20s on mines, and as i stated before, randomly mines changes from buttery smooth to rock hard with no type of reasoning behind it. Every person who has the ccd has a different ride experience, but honestly i think its a ford thing. My nav did this as well. I dnt rele think its the wheels as much as ppl say on here. A new thread opens up about this every month and each remedy is different as well (lowering tire pressure, changing wheels, changing tires, fixes itself, trading the truck, etc.)
