What causes you to lose control of your truck when you hit a bump?
What causes you to lose control of your truck when you hit a pretty size bump? I purchase some sway links, cause there gone.LOL Anything else.
Ball joints would cause that problem too,right?

Alot of factors. Speed, tires, if its the rear could be lack of weight and also depends on road conditions

Re: What causes you to lose control of your truck when you hit a bump?
shocks my friend, get new ones and dont get the ones that come up when you push down. Get the ones that when you push down they stay down, like rancho's or BDS etc. My dads 2wd had the same problem he bought the gabriel ultras, his truck bounced all over the place. We swapped shocks, I had the rancho rs, his problem solved. My truck didnt much matter since I run 400 lbs in the back for plowing. Try that, I bet it will help if not fix it
