i have an 06 xterra that i have had for about a year now. i am not sure if the shocks are somewhat knew but i was wondering if i am the only one that thinks the 2nd gen xterras go out of the way to make sure you feel every bump. it is driving me insane and i dont know what to do about it. i have not done any mods to the truck and was wondering if anyone had any ideas for what might be wrong and what i need to get to make it a softer ride. it is just a 2wd (booo) and i never take it off road so i want it comfortable. thanks in advance..

Stiffening up the rear end will help the thud quite a bit. You can pick up a pair of Hellwig 550 helped springs and slap them on for $50. It should make it feel a tad better. As far as everything else goes, its a short wheelbase SUV on a truck frame. If you wanted smooth, you should have opted for the Pathy lol.
