bed bounce

[Slooose]

I found a way to reduce the bed bounce in my 2007 Tundra 4x4, double cab, short bed on the LA freeways. I stopped at the Depot and bought four sixty pound bags of cheap sand and put them in the bed----right in front of the tailgate. This remedy doesn't get rid of all the bounce but at least you can carry on a conversation without sounding as if someone is pounding on your chest. I first tried the sand right over the axle---with fair results. I then tried moving the sand a little in front of the axle----not as good results. I then put them all the way to the rear and that worked the best. Didn't notice too much loss in the handling but was aware of some. If you can't find or afford the sand----I guess you could put one "fat lady" back there. (you can tell I failed my sensitivity training). I saw a post about putting some thick foam between the spare tire and the frame but haven't been able to find any as thick and dense as the one in the picture seems to be. If anybody knows where to get it let me know. Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up.. We have the same kind of freeways in San Diego and it's hard to even drink coffee from a commute mug while driving over them.. looks like you have a dribble cup by the time you get to work.. Notice any change in your MPG??

If you live in an area with snow, some 80# rocks salt bags will work also

OR you could pour a couple of inches of concrete in the bed
