Cheap test guy, put about 500 lbs in the bed. Bags of salt, concrete, sand anything, Do a test drive see if you note a difference. Do let me know the result.Hi yes, first post, mistakenly put in wrong section
Yeah they are. It’s strange because it doesn’t feel like I’m feeling each seam, but rather like each section of concrete is a little hill and valley causing the trucks front end to get in a rhythmic rapid up and down bounce.I thought concrete roads are poured in sections, are you feeling the seams that separate each sectio?
Yeah I was going to try something like that. Would a heavy duty steel bumper give the same effect?Cheap test guy, put about 500 lbs in the bed. Bags of salt, concrete, sand anything, Do a test drive see if you note a difference. Do let me know the result.

Thanks. I guess from what I’ve had others comment (posted twice mistakenly) that upgrading suspension and springs doesn’t have much of an effectOnly ways to fix that would be Deaver Springs, and upgraded suspension

This for sure. It happens in my truck on a particular new, concrete road here. When pulling the TT it is particularly annoying as it bounces the seat cushions off the the dinette seats and moves some other stuff around that normally stays put.I'd lay odds on the road. Happens to me all the time.
Ha ha guys saying that don't know then. Absolutely does upgraded suspension and Springs will solve that! You have HD springs, get some Deavers they are much better over stock. Suspension also helps because it's upgraded low compression , rebound, etc... all Plat a factor over bolt on cheap suspensionThanks.

Yeah I’m starting to understand this. Did you notice any significant difference between the diesel and gas ride quality on concrete like that? From reading dozens of forum posts there are many diesel owners experiencing the same thing. Just hoping I didn’t concede ride quality getting the 6.4L hemiIt's the road surface. On I-85 theres a section of about 5 miles that does this. Don't notice it in the car or 4runner but sure did with my previous truck ('12 Cummins) and current one ('19 hemi) both 2500s, and only in the front. I plan to level and get new tires and shocks in the spring. I hope that helps some
Won't matter the motor it's the suspension set up. Ride the same stretch in a luxury car, you won't feel it. Ride it in a truck with stiff suspension you will. Same issue with my old chevy, Ford f250, not my Raptor..., did in my Ram, then changed springs and suspension , gone.Yeah I’m starting to understand this.

A stiffer suspension will no doubt transmit the phenomenon to the cabin in a more profound and jarring way, but guaranteed it isn’t gone to the unsprung parts.Won't matter the motor it's the suspension set up.

My car does not do this on the same section of road. I always thought it was related to the wheelbase of longer vehicles combined with something about the way the road was constructed. My old long bed Ford did the same thing.It's the road surface. On I-85 theres a section of about 5 miles that does this. Don't notice it in the car or 4runner but sure did with my previous truck
Bumping it from 60 to 70mph stops it with my Titan on the expressways around here.LIke a couple other comments, it's not just HD trucks. My dad used to have a 2WD 1500 with soft suspension that was horrible on a certain stretch of concrete highway. I've had 3500's that are worse on some roads than others but were capable of a good ride on good road. I had a 3500 that wasn't too bad on I-80 in Iowa but I took a 30+ ft travel trailer across there with it a few years ago, and my ribs were sore when I finally made it to Nebraska.
I've always been convinced it has a lot to do with wheelbase and the length of the concrete slabs. Once it starts, if you can get up to about 100, it'll usually smooth out. I know that's rarely a feasible option, just an observation.
