aSSasinator Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 My suspension seems a little bouncy, do I need new shocks? Driving on the freeway at around 70 mph when I hit a transition onto bridge or overpass unless it's very smooth the truck seems to be a little bouncy or wavy.It does it at slower speeds also, but it's not as noticable. What can I do to correct it? I don't have a drop yet, everything is stock. Thanks, Albie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aSSasinator Posted August 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Are you talking about the front or the back? I guess it's more in the back. Now that I think about it, The guy I bought it from removed the spare. He still has it I just havent got it from him yet(friend of mine) That might make it a little better. I'll do a search and see what else I come up with. Thanks for the replies. Albie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 FWIW - I've noticed a bit of the same, but because I upped the tire inflation to 36-lbs; I backed it down to 32 and the 'jounce' mellowed out... Mr. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
