So besides shocks what do I need to do to make my ride smoother?

More info like manufacture and model of truck. Size of truck. Tires make a big difference in ride of a truck to. I had Toyo M55's on my work truck Ford F350 change them to Goodyear Duratracs and big difference in the ride.

Chose Duratracs for my Ram 1500 for the soft ride. Run em at recommended 39 pounds .
If you aren't hauling drop tire pressures down .

Mine always rides smoother with a couple of hundred pounds in the back.
I keep an 80# sand bag right behind each wheel well. Rides much smoother then

A purse. Trucks are not supposed to ride like a car. :chuckle:
:chuckle: How about getting a Dodge instead? Those come with a free purse. :chuckle:

I'd ask what you mean by smoother? Is it too stiff? That seems like it's probably a 2500HD thing. If it's bouncing all over the place or something like that, I'd look at shocks and springs. But changing any of that to make it "softer" will detract from the HD part of it.Thinking he's overdamped? Could get the more absorbent bases and bushings. But with good shocks/springs, probably need to swap all the body mounts.

Is the truck lifted or have a leveling kit? PBIf it does then your stuck. Suspension like Thuren, Carli, Kore etc can help but $$$. Bilstein shock are better but $ as well.

Better be careful, I may or may not give you a package of fire sticks or regular ones. You'll just have to eat and find out when it's time to come out the back end. 8)
