I have a ford ranger fx4 level 2 with the bfgoodrich, alcoa rims, torsen diff, and the bilstein shocks. Every time I drive over a bump or speedbump or any road that is not smooth, the force of the impact goes throughout the cabin and it can throw your back out. I think the interior is suffering because the truck just won't absorb any of the road imperfections. I know trucks are supposed to be sturdy blah blah blah but I have never seen any truck literally jar the doors off. Somedays it is ok, but there are other days when it is absolutely unacceptable. Is it the shocks? Is it just the way the torsion beam suspension behaves? is it the tires? When I say "jar" I mean it feels like the truck is falling apart when I hit a pothole. REALLY HARD no joke.

Truck sits at normal height, 2006, 57k miles, otherwise in working condition, just hurts when the road is not smooth...
