Yeppers...I'd be willing to bet it's a weight thing, like I said in my earlier post after driving around and getting tired of hearing a clunk after every bump, I bought an Air-Ride kit to give the truck 5,000 extra pounds of weight capacity...OMG...can't express how smooth that truck was to drive...felt like I was in a 70's model Olds Land Yacht *LOL*

There is a TSB on this issue (TSB#07-5-11) They have a kit to help eliminate the hop issue, P/N 5C3Z-5D008-A
