I noticed my truck seems to bottom the rear suspension out alot during normal driving lately. I never noticed it doing it before but this past week or two, i have noticed what feels like the rear end hitting the bump stops.

I have nothing in the bed but my cargo nets and the roll up soft tonneau cover.

When i installed the rear sway bar today i also happened to look at the bump stops and the plate they touch when being used and sure enough, there is an outline from the stops touching regularly.

Have you guys had any issues like that?



I geuss i will have to look for some way to lift the back a slight bit, get heavier rear springs, or maybe add some type of helper spring?

Only when I catch Air!
On a serious note either your roads are terrible or you shocks or Springs are bad or you are secretly filming a new Dukes of Hazard Series.
