looks like your rear suspension is wayyy to soft. most of the heavy puller trucks have like alot of leafs on the back

Bump stops are not going to help axle wrap. You are going to need ladder bars or something similar.

Sometimes the operator is bouncing up and down contributing to the bounce LoL.

Need to lift and get the truck stabel then hammer down. Break to much stuff when it bounces. Like CS said need more leafs too.

Take another video next pull for us to watch!

Get your hitch point more towards the front of the truck, Tighten all spring eye bolts TIGHT, Block it or add leaves. And leave the front alone till you get the rear figured out.

Well thats a big part of your problem, I dont give much tire pressure secrets out but I NEVER go under 50 on the rear. On the front you can drop a decent amount.

I don't think it likes the Ford body. Looks like its trying to buck it off!
