Megacab Axle Hop

Has anyone noticed the severe axle hop on the Megacabs? I hit little bumps in the road and this thing hops all over the road? I've put new Bilsteins on and it still does it? Anyone have any suggestions?

It's not only the Megacab. Heck, my company truck does it, and I'm going to gather the same on any other full size out there. There is no weight in the back. As soon as I put a couple hundred punds in the back of the company truck, it settles down.

I never noticed it with my 03 dually, but I also had alot of extra weight with the ranchhand bumper and headache rack. I guess I can sell this to my wife... I need a new rear bumper cause my truck bounces.... yeah that'll sell....

I have the same problem when the rear tires a pumped really high for towing. Bringing them down to 50psi helps in the ride department when unloaded.
