Default Bouncy Rear End.

Hello all, I traded my 09 FX2 Lariat F-150 for a 15 FX2 Lariat F-150.
Love the truck, 2.7 Eco and all the bells and whistles.
But the rear end is bouncy compared to my 09. I drove a 15 FX4 and was much smoother also. Anyone know of an fix for this ?
Thinking it might needs shocks to fix but not sure. Its not a big deal and the only question I have on the truck. Very pleased otherwise

Thanks

I came from a tundra so the bed bounce was horrible. I rarely notice the f150 bed bounce.

They that bad? I never wanted a tundra on account of the looks honestly.


Does the 2015 really need a rear sway bar? I thought as far as trucks go it is fantastic handling.

I know it's apples and oranges but in the vintage mustang world we tend to avoid rear sway bars because they actually hurt your handling.

I noticed the first day I drove mine, I went over sloppily patched section of road and thought my rear end was end up in the other lane! But from things I've watched and read, it is typical for the 2015's. I just learned to slow a little bit when i see something like that in the road now.

HAHA... Make it whatever you want Brother..

Yeah, I'll try and find the diff between my 09 and 15. Maybe the aluminum body and lighter weight add to it.

Any of you guys taking your trucks into the back country and encounter washboard with these new trucks? How do they handle?
