Just a thought, but maybe the reason it feels bouncy is because the bed is not on it? Just my .02 worth...

Know how you feel. Mine has been off the road since, well, February last year? Hopefully new drive-line will this week or next.

well it could be a PITA for one person to pick up a bed lol. What kinda martial arts do you specialize in? Kick boxing, Jijitsu, boxing?

You looked like a skinny white dude last time I saw ya.
Check out GM (General Motors) Blue. It is similar. I think there are some pics at the end of Bryan (5150)'s "Patina Burb Thread" that is linked in our get together thread.

Also, I'm a huge person, and I like blue, too.

I meant use the blue from TSC. I wish my truck was another color besides satin black, kinda.
