Truck bounces?
I've had my 05 Sierra SLT for about 2 months, it's got the stock suspension with 20" american racing wheels. But it's got a bad bounce to it when I'm driving over humps in the road, and feels rough over bumps. I don't think the 20"s would effect it this much, and I've even had friends ask why it drives like that. I was expecting a much more smoother ride.
Anyone else experiencing this?? And any suggestions??
Thanks

Are you running the stock shocks?

Actually feels like both. Sometimes I'll drive over a deep hump in the road and it feels like i'm about to bounce off my seat and hit my head. Other times just feels like a rough ride overall... Not what I was expecting.
Yeah they are stock shocks far as I know...

Hahah, and I'm thinkging about going with 22's. No that can't be right, because I know people that have had bigger rims and they trucks were not as bad. I'm thinking I may need to replace the shocks....

I know when i put my stock 16's back on my truck it rides 80% nicer then it does with my 20's, thast why I am going togo with a smaller rim even though I have aftermarket shocks. I guess ya should maybe try a different shock, I havn't been in anything with big wheels that road smooth unless the road is nice...

Damn I must be tired, or I need to work on my spelling. Just looked at my last post...
