The shocks aren't adjustable, so you'd have to replace parts. Right now there isn't too much aftermarket for the Titan, so more than likely you'd have to wait. PrerunnerGregg has made some interesting mods to his Titan with tuned coilovers and shocks, perhaps talk to him.

 

If its bouncy in the rear, try JetTech's helper spring addition to the rear leafs. The helper leafs are added in front of the axle, and reversed, to have a traction bar effect. The truck is lowered about 1/2" in the rear when the U bolts are fullytightened, but the ride improvement is tremendous, no more bouncing down the interstate. Also, hugs turns better some how. ALOT less axle wrap when launching hard from a stop too.
Might try that first, only costs $30-$40 vs. swapping suspension components. That could be some serious loot and could also void your warranty.

Thanks

Thanks for the info. I think I'll have give those a try.
Do you have them installed on your Titan?

Yes, they are installed.

 

I used to have a 89 Chevy Silverado- short wheel base regular cab with helper springs on the rear. TALKIN ABOUT A BOUNCING RIDE !!!
I bought & installed a set of those BF Goodrich velvet ride shackles for about $150 and installed them myself.
MAJOR improvement on rockin & bouncin on rough roads.
That was several years ago, don't even know if they are still available, but IMO they were worth every penny that I paid for them!
I know the guy who has that truck & they are still functioning fine according to him.

 

So these also help with the freeway hop? I guess for the low cost I will have to try these as well.

mrcolin2u, also check out some of prerunnergregs posts. He has changed out the rear shocks (to fox I think) and those have helped him out a lot as well.

 

mrcolin2u, This is the first (of many) threads regarding this problem, where no one has mentioned tire pressure. Check your (cold) tire pressure. Mine had 40+ psi from the factory, and lowering them to 35 psi made a lot of difference...Adding the weight of a Cap on the bed helped even more.

The helper springs don't get installed traditionally. They are reversed and placed in front of the axle, right up against the front shackle for the leafs and tightened ALL the way down. It has a completely different effect.

I agree that helper springs make for a much harsher ride, that is not the case here, just using a part for an alternate purpose.

I encourage you to read this entire thread and focus on JetTech's posts:

I tried JetTechs fix but it didn't help in my case. Pretty much the exact same helper springs as the ones in the pictures. Maybe the local freeways are worse near me. Driving on the 710 with a full bladder could be challenging.

 

I echo what dogman says, check your tire pressure. Mine was a little bouncy because my tires had 45psi in them from the dealer :huh: now they are at a comfortable 36psi and all is well.

 

you better check your tire psi. The bounce can be found in that....also your tires will wear down around 10k miles if you have them above 43psi in 80+ degree weather
