Default Re: Possible Tundra Bed Bounce CURE FOUND

The Rancho's have 9 settings. Even on the stiffest setting I still get bed bounce.. Same with the softest so I don't think the issue is shock related at all.

Adding weight to the truck does make a difference.. THe amount of weight seems to be around 2 to 300lbs. I wonder if you can have someone design a spring for the tundra and specifically request that it be exactly 2 to 300lbs less rated than the stock Tundra springs.. I wonder then if it would eliminate bed bounce..
Because Rancho's are one step above stock and two steps below Bilstiens. They were good back in 1985 when no one understood suspension design.

I don't know anyone in the off road world that uses Rancho anymore... just people that are looking for cheap replacement shocks for their daily driven trucks.
