I just got my JTR last weekend and I'm loving it so far.
I've read that the rear suspension is generally a little too soft which I have definitely noticed.
I wanted to live with it for at least a week to decide if I should address the suspension or if I would get used to it, but coming from my WJ it's significantly more harsh.
If I push down on the bumpers, especially in the back the truck will bob 2 or 3 times before settling which with most vehicles is a clear sign of fading shocks, but given how many people say it's a little soft when new makes me wonder how much of that is just the nature of a JTR. My truck has 70k miles on it so I'm sure the shocks could very well need to be changed depending on how it was driven by the previous owner (it looks like it was a highway queen, it has zero pinstripes and no scratches at all that I could see underneath).
So TLDR, is it normal for a JTR to bounce a bit when pushing down on the bumpers?
