Tony G,
What are the timbren overload rubber springs? Based on your reply, you mentioned that the teeter totter effect is side to side movement. Is the axle completely parallel with the ground when this happens?
BlackHat620,
I understand racing and the term "loose".
I am not sure if I am describing my problem correctly or if people are assuming the condition that I have with something else. When I am in my death teter/see-saw, the axle is not parallel with the ground, or just bouncing on a level plain. If what I have is common, then I would see this on most heavy duty trucks on the road and I have never seen this. I have, however, seen large trucks/heavy trucks shack, rattle, bounce, bounce from side to side at time during drive, this is is not my problem. The rear axle does not shift from side to side parallel to the ground. One side will hit the stops, while the other extends down to the ground, up and down, two directions of movement at the same time. Is this what everyone is describing above?
Thanks for your help.

roderplex,
If what you are saying is that you hit a bump on right side of vehicle and so right rear tire and axle move up and hit bumpstop while the left rear wheel and axle stay down on the ground. If on a wash board or rough road this can change from side to side because the bumps are not evenly spaced to cause both wheels and the axle to move up parallel to the ground, such as would happen if you went over a speed bump at with both wheels at the same time.
As the back of the truck bounces around do to the rough road, it can also move from side to side, do to the excessive wheel hop.
Wheel hop over rough roads with a stiffly sprung truck that is running empty is a common occurrence. To much speed for given road conditions.
Timbren's are a type of overload spring.

Hope this helps

Blackhat620,
Yes, your first sentence is correct, but it does not stop the see-saw when at highway speeds. Is this a normal to have a see-saw cycle that does not stop unless the speed is slowed? It appears to me that the suspension is not engineered correctly to properly control the rebound of the heavy spring. This is the reason I went with the Bilstiens; no issues at this point with the see-saw.
As you describe the wheel hop, I understand to expect this from a heavy duty suspension; no issues there.
Thanks.
