Bumby Ride
I just purchased an F150 Supercrew 4x4 XLT and find the ride to be very bumpy/choppy.
I have the OEM (American General) P25570R16 tires and the class III towing package.
Is there anything I can do smooth the ride?
Different Subject: The sticker says Flareside but the truck is a Styleside - any idea how this happened? Should I be concerned?

I find the ride quite the opposite, very nice for a truck, have the same truck and tires as you yet without the tow package shocks, just the normal stock ones. May be the rear shocks causing you problems yet they go with towing.
Compared with the 4x2 before buying the 4x4 and found both rode very similar.

What is your tire pressure like? My tire pressure is supposed to be 26/32 Front/Rear, but have increased it to 35 both front and rear. Rides a bit rougher, but still, considering it to be a truck, it's very acceptable. Even at the correct tire pressure, it rode good, but it wasn't a luxury vehicle ride.
