shocks/struts and ride quality

Dumb question, but here it comes anyway: I recently started running my all-terrain tires at 35 psi on the road to improve fuel economy, but, as expected, the ride is now like that of a skateboard, where I feel every little crack in the road. Will softer shocks and struts improve the ride? If so, what makes and models do you recommend?

Thanks,

T.J.

No idea about your question, but does it make any sense to spend a significant amount of money on new shocks and struts that will actually ride nice and last if you're trying to shave mere pennies off your gas bill by running 2psi more than you're supposed to? If it was me, I'd just run a lower PSI.

Sure! It always helps to have an opinion from the ouside looking in. That's why L.O.S.T. is here!
