Is this what it feels like when the shocks need to be rebuilt? Bouncy/jarring at higher speeds

[QUOTE="BWorkman, post: 1835360, member: 56152"] My truck felt like that after I bought it as well. The OG owner had driven it pretty hard in its first 19k, and the truck just seemed to bounce off of road imperfections instead of soaking them up. The rear shocks being dead increased the problem the stock rear leafs cause with wheel hop. Once I had them rebuilt, it was night and day difference. I had them rebuilt through Forged Off-road. Had them do stage 1 off-road valving which stiffened up the shocks just a bit. Made for a good handling on road feel, but more support off-road as well. And fox recommends rebuilding at 50k miles of street driven. So for $800 to do a basic rebuild plus $120 for stage 1, it was worth it for me. As for what smurfslayer said about the axle wrap, I did a set of deaver springs and that took care of about 90% of that. Only on really bad bumps while turning Will I get a little bit of axle wrap still (and traction bars will be in my future for stopping that extra 10%). [/QUOTE]
