Shitty ride with bumps

I've had my 2015 50i for 4 months now. My compliant is Jesus this truck feels like shit when I hit bumps. Standard suspension but can it really be that bad? Are these Bridgestone rft really that shitty of a ride???

Garage List
I had a screw in one of my tires last week. Didn’t realize it, pulled out of the garage and then got the notification on the dash (no run flats). I was probably 200 yards from my house and didn’t want to risk ruining the rim. I called my friends at a local tow shop. They were there in 12 minutes. Plugged, filled with air, back on the road for $55.

How many more times could I do that for what a set of run flats cost? To me, the cost just doesn’t make sense. And the ride is horrid.

Runflat tires are hard as rocks so doesn't really help in the ride quality. I went with non-RFTs really make a difference. When I got winter tires the ride was even softer.
