My 1997 dodge ram is a little bounce, my friend has the same truck, same year and his truck's suspension seems to be a lot more stiff, i've heard it could be the shocks or it could be the springs. Anybody know what i should or what should be replaced? Thanks

I'd start by replace the shocks. If they're stockers they're like 10-11 years old, probably pretty wore out.

In my experience the cost of the shock equates to the stiffness. I won't be buying anymore expensive shocks. Driving on the concrete roads in SoCal is bucking brutal.
