    I know this has been talked about before,but what is the fix? Go with the toy tech shackle or airbags,I tow a 24' camper and have a weight distribution hitch. For those who drive on concrete roads in colorado, you what I mean.

    I've tried Fox and Bilstein shocks, airbags, add a leafs, different lift blocks, and none helped, just made it feel a little bit different. I was gonna try these, but it just doesn't bother me much anymore.

    Never tried shackles, imo they are not the problem, and see a few people flatten their springs from them.

    SDHQ makes a hidden bedside support system. I have not had a change to test this out on the concrete highways yet.

    This may help but ultimately it is the design of the leaf springs that is causing the issue.
    Toytec Boss shocks with Toytec shackles have helped but not completely alleviated.
    I have heard that weight in the bed of additional 200-300lb range will also reduce or eliminate the bed bounce.

    I am curious to hear how much the bed stiffeners help, was told it would make a big difference.

    You may want to try Willybar. http://www.willybar.com/Video.html

    Of course, a cheaper option is to have a couple of sand bags in the bed. Tundra tends to run smoother with some load in the bed.

    BOSS rear resi's all but eliminated bed bounce for me. Only way I've eliminated it is by putting a load in the bed. A couple of sandbags should do the trick if it bothers you too much.

    Flat metal is a good idea without compromising bed space. The price is crazy though. Pick up a few thick steel sheet metal pieces and paint them with bed liner for way cheaper.
