: Bouncing, going down the road

I have noticed that my 04 Crewcab, Duramax seems like it is "bouncing" in the front when you travel down the road. Almost like the front shocks are shot! You hit a dip in the road and it bounces for several ft down the road.
I have the front torson bars cranked up three turns to clear the 285 tires I have on it, will this cause bouncing???
Anyone else noticed this???
Thanks

From what I have read the stock shocks are a joke. My t-bars are cranked pretty good and I just installed a set of Rancho RS9000's 2 weeks ago and they improved the ride greatly. I have the fronts on 7 and rear on 4.

Get yourself a set of Ranchos or Bilsteins. They'll really improve the ride & handling of your truck. The factory shocks are just about worthless.

Of course, I like jmg343's idea too! :bounce:

Where'd you get your Rancho 9000 kit from?
