I would love to have your ride quality!
Great point about the shocks being shot. I feel like worn shocks would make the car feel soft & washy rather than harsh, though, or am I wrong? My brother suggested that my ride feels as if the previous owner had replaced the factory springs with concrete blocks (a great money saver).
The tires are Continentals (I'll look at the model numbers when I go home). I usually keep them at about 35 psi (to keep the TPMS light off). I do have the Airlift 1000 which I keep at about 10-15 psi without a load (anything higher makes the rear feel like it's going to detach when I hit a bump).
The reason I deduct that the wheels could be part of the problem is that my father-in-law's '05 Frontier rides sooo much smoother on 16's. I've been tempted to ditch the 18's.
I'm going to set up the GoPro in the car one day and film a casual ride through downtown Baltimore, which feels like you're driving a train car down the side of a pyramid (not solely by fault of the car, as Baltimore roads are built to resemble a post-apocalypse movie set).
