- CrabbypattyExplorerUnless I missed it, you did not say what your towing I assume a TT. If your TT is loaded out of balance, that can add to the bouncing. Tail heavy TT like a fulcrum will lift the tongue and that gets exaggerated over bumps. Our F250 was a bit of an issue with the steering death wobble. I swapped out the OEM Shocks for Bilsteins 4600 on the corners and the 5200 steering stabilizer. Made a difference.
Hope that helps - Cummins12V98Explorer III

Carry on!
I believe this is an ignoramous thread, ie ignore, bug it will still be here tomorrow and next week!
Marty
I’m down!
(Apparently we don’t have a beer smiley...)
Although in seriousness, a Western WA get together would be fun!
12V could bring some Anz Oil swag to hand out.
We could discuss pulling 20% grades and slow Subaru drivers!

Cmon guys...this is a serious question!
I added 4 extra leaf springs. 3 on 1 side and 1 on the other (the missus could use to lose a few pounds so I shored up her side real guud...don't say anything, she's sort of sensitive about her weight...shhh)
But now it's bouncy when I tow.
I was thinking if I used lower Supersprings with Sumos and a Timbren/airbag combo on the topside and a set set of double remote reservoir King shocks that should take care of it.
What do you think about my plan?
I think it's a good one!
Perhaps you should add this to your signature.

Idk about the concrete sidewalk. Might put me over gvw....
But I did know a guy who had a concrete bed liner once..... true story. Old truck springs were hard as he!!, so he poured a couple inches of concrete in the bed to smooth things out. And cover up the rust holes as I recall.
