07 Tundra Freeway Ride - Page 3 - TundraTalk.net

I got mine set up 37 up front, and 35 rear, but I think I got a nail in my front right tire, cuz I'll set it to 37 and 2 days later it'll be down to 30. so its 37 left front, 30 right front, and I got a very smooth ride on the 10 West, and on the 86 going both ways, except for a 2 mile run by 84th ave going south bound. The 10 East was slightly rough about an hour out of LA. other than that its been smooth, truck smooth not lexus smooth.

I have read that "Supersprings" helps or even eliminates the freeway bounce problem. How about the airbags? Specifically the Firestone brand. They seem easy to install and have some advantages over the spring when hauling a fairly heavy load such as a fifth wheel trailer. If you install them yourself, the cost is about the same. That is, as long as you operate the airbag manually. (i.e. fill and deflate manually)

The TRD ride is horrible on the freeway. I replaced the shocks with Fox shocks and it drives soooo much better. I was waiting for Toyota to do something and really began to dislike my truck so I decided to be pro-active and replace the suspension. Best decision I have made about the truck. I now love my truck. I don't regret my decision I love my Tundra. I will say I don't recommend the TRD package

yeah, i have a brand new DC 2x4, and in the ventura county area north of LA, the ride is horrendous on the freeway, so im definatly going to have to either get some bed weights or those supersprings

We've got concrete/expansion joints and sections that make cars dance. A soda can launched out of a cupholder and clocked me in the head.. in a loaded 24ft high-cube. My F-150 longbed was very unpleasant in the same section. NO problem in the 04 Titan. The Tundra is stiff over the same section, but no resonance or bounce. I've got a 4x4 shortbed regular cab; definitely choppy and squirrelly compared to longer wheelbases, but I haven't felt the bounce. I think the moto-people are on-target by focusing on the shocks (more rebound damping/ softer compression?). Has anyone tried aftermarket shocks?
