    It is basically your regional distribution center...mine is Gulf States for Texas as an example. Some of the bed LED lights, side steps, spray in bed liner, etc. are installed at the distribution center which is technically called a "Port".

    I find it weird that it would create more bed bounce being that it doesn’t limit up and down travel so much as it limits articulation.
    Not saying it isn’t so, just my thoughts.
    I swore it helped my truck when I did a before and after on a section of freeway. I do think it’s speed sensitive and now reacts differently at certain speeds. Having a load makes the most difference though.

    Good luck with whatever you do.

    The road is still rough and now I have more sway on exit ramps and fly over ramps, but I feel the bumps less for sure. I agree it is probably speed sensitive and definitely dependent on the section of road and how bumpy or how close together the bumps are.

    Thanks. It sucks. On the stretch that is bad speed doesn’t seem to make much of a difference. I will try somehow to post a video. I fly solo to work so I will do the best I can.
    If I knew if was just this stretch I would probably just try my best to avoid it.

    Absolutely! I hover around 90, but I’ve seen triple digits a few times. Only stretch of road you can really air one out on around Austin. Found out my S5 had a governer on it and had no idea before.

    Yep, hit 90's a lot and don't even notice it, love driving at night but defiantly careful of the hogs or deer!

    I love my TRD sway bar. Literally made a huge difference when towing. I never experienced what your saying about bed bounce but I love the control with weight in the back.

    Glad everyone likes it. I ripped mine off ten minutes ago. The stretches of concrete I live around make it an absolute no go!

    You must surely be the only one here that has that problem on concrete, I'm sure with a better suspension it may ride a bit better! Good luck!

    Bummer you got that issue. No issue here on concrete highways. Its such a good mod because of the improvements in handling.
    The only thing I have different are 5100 in the rear instead of the OEM OR Bilsteins. The rebound was stout on the stock and the 5100 changed that...not sure if its enough to eliminate bed bounce tho..
