Not sure if I'm just noticing it more often but it seems like my back end jumps around more and more.
Wondering if anyone keeps weight in the back for a more stable ride..?
I have a couple hundred pounds back there but no dice. I'm thinking you'd need closer to 500 or so.

If it makes anyone feel better, last year when I test drove a Z71 2015 the salesman suggested keeping weight in the back because of the same issue. He said with the Z71 shocks is what causes it to jump around

 

I only use weights in the bed over the back axle in the winter. I didn't notice the back end jumping around the 4 months I had my truck before the winter though

 

What do you use for weight? And how many lbs. are we talking?

 

Old international tractor wheel weights. Work perfect and they don't slide. I rarely have to use 4X4 in snow unless our gravel road hasn't been plowed.

I usually use 400lbs or so. But i think my dad and I switched on accident which 3 I use and he uses. So not sure this year. Somewhere between 350-450. (He has a superduty so he uses slightly more)

 

Haven't had much jumping myself but when the weather was a little icy/snowy I kept a 70 pound bag of sand in the back. Can't say it made a ton of difference in the handling but I mostly had it there in case I needed to pour some to get out of a bind.

 

Tube sand....

 

Put on a rear sway bar, makes the hop go away

 

Yes sir
Makes a world of difference....no more shimmy shake

 

Glad I read the responses instead of scrolling down and posting because this is what I was going to say.

IMO it will/does make a difference.

Why doesn't Ford just put a sway bar on right from the get go?
