Default truck bounce

on my 02' silverado I took my 22 inch rims off because its going to the paint shop this week and when I put the factory 16 inchs on the truck seems to bounce real hard if you hit a dip in the road.when I run over a small pothole its like the shocks/struts are shot.but everything was fine when I had the 22's on any suggestions

The 22's were making the ride stiffer so you wouldn't notice blown shocks as much. But yeah sounds like that's the problem. When shocks go bad, they can't stabalize the springs and that's why it's bouncing.

Youre shocks are probably shot,I had the same problem.Nitro Drop shocks are really good and are about less than $50.
