Yes the bed bounce has been heavily discussed on this site. Do a search on it. Some members say putting sandbags in the bed reduces it. Also a company makes something (which is basically nothing more than sheets of steel) that when put in the bed dramatically reduces the bounce. Congrats on the truck. Looking forward to pics.

I think he's talking about spinning his tires and getting a wheel hop.

It sounds like you have excellent taste in style and color.
I'm not sure how I know, but I'm certain of it.
P.S.
Here's my baby:

Great shots Dale and Jim. The trucks look great. But you can't do without the Blue.

todd · 08-28-2008, 10:22 AM

Im not having the problem when i spin the tires but usally when i hit a bump or rough spot on the road the rear end hops far to long than just the usual bump i would normally feel. Its as if it wants to keep on hopping. thanks for the welcomes and support still working on getting pics posted.

Mickey · 08-28-2008, 10:05 PM

That has to be the first I heard of that issue. Yes post pics.

Excellent choice. Welcome from Michigan's U.P.

I wanted the slate grey, but then only had it in a SR5 CM. I didn't want the CM. Anyhow, welcome!

iowa_hillbilly · 08-30-2008, 08:58 PM
