Why does the JAC T6 suspension feel stiff and uncomfortable on rough Pakistani roads?

Many owners in Pakistan report that the JAC T6’s suspension feels overly firm and uncomfortable, especially on uneven, bumpy, o r rural roads. What aspects of its suspension setup e.g., leaf springs, shock absorbers, tire choice, o r chassis tuning contribute to this harsh ride quality? Are there specific aftermarket upgrades o r maintenance practices that can improve comfort without compromising load‑carrying capability?

The JAC T6’s suspension is often described as firm o r harsh on uneven and rough roads in Pakistan. This primarily comes from its pickup‑oriented suspension setup — rear leaf springs and factory‑tuned shocks meant to carry load rather than provide a cushy ride. On local roads with bumps, potholes, and uneven surfaces, this results in noticeable stiffness and vibration. Additionally, stock tires with harder compounds can transmit more road shock into the cabin, and shock absorbers may wear faster under heavy use, making the ride feel even harsher.

Common owner‑reported ways to improve ride comfort:

Upgrading to softer all‑terrain o r comfort‑oriented tires

Installing better quality aftermarket shocks

Keeping tire pressure within recommended ranges

Adding a small load in the rear to help leaf springs settle more smoothly
Even with improvements, pickups generally won’t match sedan‑like comfort because of their utilitarian design.
