    have you taken the air out of the bags?
    is this when towing ?
    Long beds always bounce a bit.. I have air bags.. but when im not towing .. I take the air out

    in them,i only air them up for towing.Its the fx4 truck with ranchos.It bounces a bunch,its just annoying.If bilstein or anyone made a better shock it would be worth changing the rear.
    I know tthe truck is long so its never gonna go away 100%,but anything would be better.

    I think Bilstiens may help some, the stock Rancho badged shocks from the factory are crap imo. I have a short bed and there is a stretch along the I10 where you really get the crap beat out of you, just the nature of the truck i suppose. Try adding some weight to the bed. Or maybe contacting Deaver springs and see what they say. You may also be running to much air in the tires what psi are you running and what size?
