Airbags and bounce

[nomadic]

Truck is SR5

I am slightly confused by all this, I understand a fair amount about suspensions systems, mostly from auto-x racing. The OP said he put 50 psi in the bags and it bounced. If I put 50 psi in the bags (with 80 in the tires) I can jump hard on the bumper and it barely moves. I usually run 10 pounds but I am never really empty, 8 foot bed with a topper, and a box in the bed usually full of tools and extension cords. 2 days after I put the air bags on we decided to do some landscaping (topper was not on yet), and went 5 miles to a place that sells rock. I loaded 2 scopes or whatever they call them in the back of the truck, the guy on the tractor said it was 4500 pounds. The air bags had 60 psi in them; the back went down about 1 ½ inch. This was before I got the E tires. The stock P tires were bulging like crazy and the truck felt very bouncy on them. I have not tried to load the truck like this since getting the E’s.

driving the truck. I experience most of these things when not loaded. I can’t stand the rebound rate of the stock shocks. I know that this is a truck and all, but the rear end upsets to easily going around a high speed corner if the road is rough. I find the truck upsets sometimes to if there is a rough section of road only on one side. When there are ruts in the road it tends to wander into the ruts.

I’ve been holding back on getting struts. I feel like most threads and or marketing is geared toward of roading and I have not seen the information that I’m looking for. Maybe I’m just looking for car stuff when I should be looking for truck stuff. If only Tein made struts for the tundra I would know exactly what to buy.

The only adjustable or are there others? Do they adjust the dampening and rebound? I don’t go off road so I don’t care about off road performance.

Thank you for reading my novel

Everyone will likely chime in with a different opinion. The TRD suspension upgrade from the factory includes shocks that have a lot more damping on rebound than the non-TRD. Evidently this caused a rougher ride for the independent testing people, I don't know, but I appreciated the ride with the TRD shocks. Then, putting air bags on gives you more spring (less resistance to compression) and the combination with more rebound damping with the shocks makes for a better ride when loaded (50 PSI in the air bags) or unloaded (7 PSI).

I have yet to put on the rear sway bar, but I understand it keeps the rear end on the ground better as well.

Again, other people may have different experiences, but this may be a much more economical way to get what you appear to be looking for.

I would think the only street shocks are for the lowered trucks.
