One of our Ram owners from California noticed that the spacing of the seams in the concrete on the highway was causing this bounce. Based on you saying certain patches of the highway I would say it has something to do with that.
That sounds exactly like what it is. Would better shocks cure it?

Yeah, it's the seams in the freeway. There is no way to fix it. It's the wheelbase. Shorter wheelbase vehicles wont do it as bad on the freeway, but will do it worse on other areas'

Nope but driving on a different road might. Seriously, run a search because don't remember what he did.
