Wheel bounce

I just acquired my first Ford, 06 F150 SC 2wd, 4.6l.

One thing that is different than my chevy experiences is a lot of wheel bounce over minor road bumps, patches etc.

Both front and rear wheels bounce a lot more than I would expect..

Anyone have any thoughts? Is this tire pressure, shocks, springs, or all of the above.. My 2000 Suburban hardly even notices the bumps are there, my 99 silverado slightly detects them more than the suburban.. and the new stang (06 GT) doesn't even flinch..

Its almost like a bad shock.. can't keep the tires on the ground..

Thanks for any insights..

Sam
