Just sounds like your shocks and struts need to be replaced, and the problems with stiff ride are always amplified in the winter time. Obviously dont inflate the tires too much, and that doesn't sound like a likely problem, but have someone check your suspension, when it gets older it tends to loose range of motion, which causes the stiffness.

first, get rid of the air shocks.....get ya a set of regular gas chargedshocksand replace your tire old springs....it'll ride like a dream </P><edited><editID>Black Horse</editID><editDate>38022.4567361111</editDate></edited>
