my truck feels like im in a tank..

..is it cause i have a body lift or what? i just bought ANOTHER f-150..my wife traded my other one in for a h3..anyways i had a 3 inch bodylift on the other one and it was not at all a rough ride..now i got this truck and installed this one..when i hit a bump..it looks like the bed is like shaking on its own like its not even connected.. any ideas?

Is everything tight? If it is, you probably need new shocks. A body lift is not going to affect the ride.

Bilstiens will probably be best. But just about anything will be an improvement over the oem shocks.

What year and what model do u have? Mine is very rough, tank like also. Im hoping for me its the tires/alignment. Or is it cause i have 95,000 miles? Regardless, my Z71 had over 100,000 miles and rode 10x's better.
