I noticed past couple weeks when I drive my 02 Dakota quad can v6 when I hit bumps the *** end is sloppy, it sways bad! When I stand there one handed I can shake the whole truck back and forth with not too much strength, I checked the sway bar bushings they are good. Leaf springs look good, and today I had 4 square of roofing shingles in the bed of truck and it barely sagged....so I don't think it's the shocks....it was doing this before today so I know it didn't happen from loading the shingles in there...any help would be great, thanks

 

It could still be the shocks. They don't hold the truck up. The springs do. Did it happen all of a sudden, or has it gotten worse over time? How many miles are on the shocks? I would check them for leaks, broken mounts, etc. and replace them if they're damaged or old.

 

how did it ride with the shingles in the back? i know mine jumps around if i dont have any weight in the back.

 

same here. Thinking about unhooking one end of my rear sway bar because it's almost too loose for my driving style.
