Drove up to the mountain today. No major porpoising. Perhaps slower speed on certain local roads is the issue. I'm going to try multiple configurations and report back.
We may be purchasing a 2019 Northern Lite 8-11 this week. Interesting, according to NL's website, the long bed NL 9-6 is 3" longer than the short bed NL 8-11, however, the 9-6 weighs 25 lbs.
less than the 8-11 :h
In any case, our truck is a '16 Ram 3500 CC SB SRW 6.7 (4k payload; 11.7k GVWR; RAWR 7k). After reading your thread I'm beginning to wonder if we're going to have similar issues. Especially in light of the fact your NL 9-6 has the advantage of having the COG a number of inches in front of the rear axle on your LB F350. The new, 2019 short bed NL 8-11's COG is approx. 1.5"
behind the rear axle on the SB Ram 3500.
