Sounds like you have perfectly good shocks.The VX is a sportscar trapped in an SUV's body.

Your tires can have a huge impact on ride quality. It's usually a trade for performance .vs. ride. Try to air down slightly to see if it helps. Of course this is a trade off as well. Airing down will sacrifice mpg & tire wear. If airing down helps then the next time you buy new skins, look for something with a softer sidewall.

yeah ive got the tire pressure just right so that the ride is bearable and the mpgs doesnt go too far down. it was the first thing i did when i got the vx.
ive recently had lower back problems so the rough ride is not good. with winter around the corner i want to make sure the long 3 hr drives to tahoe are as comfortable as i can make it.

Your shocks are bad.
You can easily tell by removing one from the lower mount. You'll see it no longer has any gas charge.
Shocks don't last 100k miles. Even less in a short wheelbase truck with lots of polar weight.

Really??? I haven't noticed any change in mine after 130k+ miles. I've slammed the heck out of them too with all the jumping I've done. Maybe I just got lucky...

I should note that I DID wear out the rear springs, but they were aftermarket springs that I got from Calmini.
