I have an '03 RAM 1500, if I don't have at least 100lbs in the back this truck rides really rough.

If I'm on the freeway (cement) traveling between 70-80MPH the back bounces so bad that I can't even reach and tune the radio. My 1-ton dually didn't ride this bad.

Are there shocks that can solve this problem? What are others doing? What can I do to smooth the ride out?

you can get sand bags or a fat chick ride in the back. but the easy way is get softer shocks but i would opt out for the fat chick

 

yeah, fat chicks are cheaper... and if you get stuck somewhere she can push. haha

 

the fat chick in the back does help tho after i put her in the back i noticed a big drop in my mpg, they arnt the most aerodynamic

 

Plus they have to be fed, and tend to have big appetites.

 

dont worry about feeding them, they eat birds and roadkill... hahalol
i should stop b4 i get in trouble...
fat chicks need lovin too right?

 

We lift our trucks for a reason: fat chicks can't jump.

 

LOL i love how this thread went from a bouncy ride to what the positives and negatives are about fat chicks! nice! hahaha - sorry i was no help either but would suggest shocks

 

u can get a tanneau cover for the bed, get a couple fat chicks to go in there, close it, most likely it wont tho. it will atleast help keep the trucks form.

but be aware that u dont get the biggest fat chick or else she'll make ur truck look like a dakota
