I hava an 01 Extended cab longbox dodge that i pull stock class and everytime i put a suspension stop on the rear axle i have a severe bounce. I have traction bars that go to the box part of the frame, clamped springs but whenever there is a suspension stop in there i get a bounce. Tried one inch of travel in the stops still bounce. Lifted the back of the truck up till all suspension sag was gone and blocked still a bad bounce. No stop and she goes down the track smooth as can be. Really need some help as i think the loss in hitch height without stops is really killing my distance...:doh:
 
How much air do you have in your tires in the rear? i run 35 in pro comps at 50 with no bounce.
 
Mine does the same thing with stops. Next pull im going to put it to the floor when im lettin off the clutch and ride it out just a little bit.
 
I had severe bouncing issues & found that my bounce was caused by the rear tires having unbalanced air pressure. The drivers rear had 45psi [slow leak], RH rear had 50psi. I went to 60psi rear & no bounce. The vid is in my sig, but watch how my truck bounced side to side in the rear first.
 
i pull in the stock class as well and i have never bounced once with my traction bars and blocks. I have no idea what i run for tire pressure should check em here sometime soon. I run BFGs
 
it might just be the blocks mine did the same thing with blocks all i changed was blocks and i bounced like a mofo.
 
Do you have any pictures of your rear suspension, blocks and traction bars? When I tried to pull with just my suspension blocks in I had a bad bounce, shake, but with my traction bars installed I get nothing at all.
