So is it a bobing motion like riding in a boat after you hit a bump, or something else?

Yea thats it. It will bounce up and down about three or four times after a bump in the road. For some reason speed doesn't seem to be a factor.

Its 100% a shock issue than I'm almost sure. Lol

Take a shock off and see how easy it is to push and pull it. If there is a easy spot, or you can change directions easy, the shocks are shot.

I have to say I love my Bilstein 5100's. Granted I only have a 2" leveling kit up front, but considering it's a 05 F350 CC long bed 6.0 and I run a 8'2" V-plow in the winter and tow a trailer all summer, they have been holding up great and it rides really nice. Most people can't believe it's really a heavy truck as good as it rides. Just sayin...

Drives nice too



To the OP,
I suggest having a big boobed chick wearing a tight shirt ride with you for a couple miles and see if you still care about the shock problem youre obviously having.

The shocks are new. I did the push pull before I put them in and they were solid. The truck has been this way since day one. I guess I need heaver shocks and or more than one on each side.
