My '06 F150 feels like you're driving on a washboard @ 55-60mph.
I've tested it extensively on many road types.
The speed range is very specific, 55-60mph.
I think it's getting worse.

I've got brand new Bridgestone Dueler AT's, it also bounced with the old Generals.

You can see the bounce, doesnt matter if you're looking in the mirror or directly at it.

I pull a 5th wheel camper, same thing.

The other day I had 2 pieces of drywall in the back. It didn't bounce. The drywall sloped up onto the tailgate forming a sort of air spoiler. Could this have aerodynamicly affected things ?? I know the weight of 2 pieces of drywall wouldn't have any affect if my 5th wheel doesn't.

I've been told, this is because Ford changed the rear shocks from inside the frame to the outside in-order to increase handling in corners...

I've been told, there may be a block from shipping still in place...

My Ford dealership doesn't know why, but wants to install a dampner for about $400. I've read this may or may not do it. I'm not ready to go for $400 til I know more...and even then it's not a fix, just a band-aid.

I'm ready to try new shocks.....

Any ideas, thoughts, etc....?

my bed bounces too but not real bad but when i look in the mirror i can see it shaking i think it is due to how rigid the truck is built the bed really has no other option but to bounce around abit lol!!

If the bouncing is due to ford shocks, are there any shocks out there to replace the stock shocks with that will prevent or lessen the bouncing ?

squirrelyyy

I would try new shocks before I spent $400 on a dampner that may or maynot work
