Question Back end too light

I just recently changed out my shocks on my '01 Scab, and i have noticed that they work great in the front because of the weight of the engine. but everytime i hit a bump or pothole, the back end jumps off the ground.

my questions is, is there some kind of inexpensive weights that i can add to the frame or underside of the bed to make it less jumpy/light?

You can fab up some type of piped system under the bed. Make it water tight, with a filler valve at one end. You could fill it with water to add some weight back their. When towing or hauling, you could drain it.

Or check out Bed Bladders online if fabbing skills aren't all their, or not wanting to hack into your nice truck.

Something easier: look into some traction bars, may help keep that *** end planted.
