Default Re: Bed bouncing question

It's not on all roads, only certain concrete freeways. I have the same issue driving I-5 in So CA every day on the way to work ... from Mission Viejo up to the 405 junction it is so bad that it blurs my vision and I get a slight headache most times. I look around and the semi's, f350's, etc don't seem to be bouncing like me. I'm always left thinking "this can't be right!!!" I have driven trucks all my life and never experienced this. I've been told to put sandbags in the back, but that will effect my mileage I'm sure ... not to mention "hey, I paid $40,000 for this truck and now I gotta fill it with sand so I don't get sick on my daily commute???". I've set the tire pressure at the recommended 30/33. I love everything else about my truck, but the bounce is absolutely teeerrrrrriiiibblllleee!!! I have a camper shell on order, so I'm hoping that will help but watching the bed and cab move independently of each other during these stretches, I'm guessing the rubber shell boot will wear the cab paint away in short order. I'm left hoping the suspension will loosen up or that I can change some parts to soften it up ... anyone have experience softening the suspension??
