Re: Bouncing over the LA ripple!
The TRD shocks help a lot, but does not eliminate the problem. There is just too much spring underneath the rear end when unloaded. The Bilsteins make it bearable. My next step would be to take out a leaf and replace the weight carrying capacity with the Firestone air-ride system. I'm really not sure I want to take apart such a well built truck as this and I might it leave alone for now. If it was a Chevy, I wouldn't hesitate to get underneath it just to make sure all the bolts are tight and of the correct thread diameter. The shocks were only $55.00 each, so this was the cheap fix. It almost seems as if the stock shocks had more internal friction and the rear suspension was seized on certain sections of the freeway out here.
