Mine is doing the exact same thing. Anything over 65mph is about my start of it. On some roads, it doesn't seem to to it as bad. I figured mine was probably carrier bearing, u-joint, or tire balance issue. Never thought of the shocks causing it. Can anyone else shed any light on this.

tires or shocks

Mine was terrible about this then I had the shocks replaced and it was a new truck!

I don’t think a bad balance on tires or bad carrier bearing or u joints would bounce, they vibrate.

I have to check on some new shocks then. I did notice yesterday on the interstate, that when I was on newer pavement, I didn't notice any bounce, but when on 'well used' pavement, it did it.

tires are balanced and i believe the shocks are good they arent that old maybe 25k on them

If they just have 25k they when bad allrady, im assuming that's what happen,not 100% since im not a pro.
