2005 dodge RAM1500 quadcab:
I suspect a lot of you have this problem so there must be a solution. I live in So.Cal and our freeways are horrible especially the cement ones. The truck bounces like crazy in a sinusoidal manner to the point sometimes it makes people uncomfortable. It's not bad when there is a buxom lady with you but even then it gets annoying. The problem seems to not occur when there is a heavy load in the back. I have talked with my dealer many times and their response is that the truck performs as designed. WTF is that supposed to mean. Their way of saying that I'm screwed.

Has anyone had this problem and found a suspension aftermarket fix for it. Thanks.

 

Yup. Stock shocks suck. replace them

 

^^^^werd!

 

I live here in cali and know what you mean. Mine is a 06 qc, i installed rancho rs9000 about 2 years ago and love it. With no load i run them at 7 in front and 5 in back.

 

new shocks

 

like dog said stock shocks suck.

 

Are there any shocks you would recommend?

 

rancho 5000, $50 a pop at moesperformance. solved my problem most of my problem. and its not just that the stock shocks are that terrible, butyours are old now, they wear out after a while.

 

I'm going with these. Should really help keep the tires planted on the road.

I installed the Rancho RS5000. Bouncing was not my problem, it was the rear walking over the tar strips on the interstates. I chose Rancho becauce I have had good experiences with Tenneco and they were on sale at Sears. Sears had a half price sale at the same time the manufacturer was having their buy 3, get 1 free. Net cost, $105 before tax.
