Default Re: Bed bouncing question

This is crazy! Although I agree that every vehicle has a particular frequency and magnitude of bumps that will create bounce/suspension instability. However some descriptions here make it seem as though it happens on many different types of roads...

I also feel that one should not have to consider buying new shocks or adding bed weights to a brand new truck over concerns of control due to bouncing. I am starting to get a little worried. If you get on the freeways around Houston you simply can't drive the speed limit and I don't want to be worrying about my truck bouncing out of my lane if I drive over 65... I know the truck is designed to haul payloads (which I will do occassionally), but it should also perform well without payload on highways.

Are these problems also ocurring with the CrewMax?

Anyone having these bounce problems in Houston? There is a portion of I45 through downtown that is very bumpy and I could imagine this exciting the bed bounce phenomenon described here.

Can anyone here speak to how the 07 Tundra bed bounce compares to that of the 05-07 Tacoma? I have never really noticed bed bounce in my 05 Tacoma, but I will start paying attention when I drive over bumpy terrain.
