Some potholes and bumps are just teeth jarring - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am wondering if this is just normal for the age and style and that I am too used to my Tundra.

The truck rides pretty smooth going down the road and it a bit bouncy but comfy and smooth for the most part. When I hit a pothole or decent size joint on the road it is pretty jarring and shakes the entire bed. The front shocks and springs are good and I don't think there is a lot there to go wrong. I am just thinking there isn't a lot of movement and down travel there that I am not used to having. Again, is this just nature to these trucks and any way to soften the ride more.
