With mine, I just open the tailgate about 6" and slam it shut, the amount of bounce is unbelievable. I noticed when I get in the bed and slam the tailgate the bounce is reduced significantly, but I can feel the reverberation through the bed. I was thinking about supporting the rear of the frame with jack stands, just to get the weight off the springs, and slam the gate and see what happens, as soon as time and weather permit. Today I actually loosened the bed bolts so they were just snug to see if it would change the bounce. No difference.
