Default Suspension for XA

Any suggestions on how to improve the suspension of my2006 XA? Vehicle is stock, only added the rear bumper applique, mudgurads, and cargo net, just wanted to keep vehicle simple. It is my daily commuter, I drive around 38 miles each way daily to work, about 1.25 hours in traffic. The ride is comfortable, but a bit bumpy, any suggestion on improving the ride?, make it less bumpy?

you might want to change out the rear shocks that should help some. If you do wnt to lower it some I would say for what you are looking for go with the TRD springs

See this link. Put the 5987 on the rear. Makes a big difference in the jarring bumps. Its so easy to do as well. You dont even have to jack up the car!

switch to monroes in the rear, that usually takes the bumpiness away, from what ive read on this site.

I can guarantee you the Monroe 5987's will improve your ride quality by 150%. Stock springs or not these shocks work great.
