Softer empty ride.

I have a 2011 ranger xlt extended cab 4x4 4.0 with b6 4600 shocks. Too hard empty.
Can a softer main leaf with additional loaded helper make it softer..
260lb of sand bags not much help.
running recommended air pressure.

I believe I would try softer rear shocks. They are easy to change and shocks can affect ride quality significantly.

Thanks Nelbur. I'm considering that.
This thing has absolutely no body roll. Sincea i still have 4600s on my old truck, I know they'll work but not as much as b6 4600.
Also, it's amazing how much bigger this 2011 is than my 02 stepside.
