Hwy bounce with 2005 f250

I have a 2005 f250 that rides firm as they all do, but sometimes driving on cracked pavement it will just start to bounce! The dealer admits it is not normal. They have changed the shocks, but this did nothing to change anything, and they admit they don't know what to do now! Any solution would be helpful. Shawn

Loaded or unloaded?
Tire size and PSI?
Reg cab, screw, 6.5, 8ft. box?
Even spaced expansion joints or random cracks in pavement?
Country, jazz, or HIP HOP on the radio......LMAO

Yeah I've had that happen if loaded a certain way and the joints are spaced just right.

Yes it's a pain when going down our So Calif freeways. Our Interstate 10 is the worst around Downtown LA. I have the Camper package which I think means I have a heavier duty spring up front which may make things worst. Someone else without this package would have to confirm that. I can get to 65mph only on the 10 freeway without being to bad. The 60 freeway is about 75mph. I don't know but if I switch to a 2.5 inch lift with new shocks would it help? Don't know, can someone elaborate on this?
