Question Almost Traded Truck for a car!

My Suspension is going to kill me. I guess I never really noticed before, but they just finished the outerbelt here in Columbus,OH and that means you can actually go the speed limit. The problem is when I hit the bridges, I feel almost out of control when going 65mph. I bounce,and bounce and bounce. At one bridge I swear the right front wheel comes off the ground! So, I almost traded my truck for a car, just for ride quality! But, I love my truck and I think this problem can be fixed, I just need HELP! What can I do?

(Oh yeah, I have a 97 F-150, 2wd, couple of mods.)
