    What's the best way to improve the ride of a 2003 strada? The pickup is used for city driving only and the ride is so bumpy.

    pick-ups are for loading hence the lift springs hence the harse ride.
    stradas have the "less bumpy" ride because it's spring is under the axle, hence, more travel.

    change first your shocks for aftermarket ones, they may be stiff but not harsher, and also you'll improve handling.

    the cheapest option you can do to improve the ride plus handling is to put two 50 kilo sand bags in the rear.

    bakit sa patrol ko, i once carried 10 sacks of stones, each weighing at least 40kg, matagtag pa rin, i mean, hindi man lang nagbago yung ride nya?

    400kgs? Sobra na yata yun sa max cargo weight, pwersado ang coils mo nun.

    Even a 10kg bag could do wonders to a stock suspension setup.
