Washboard Roads

What shocks do you have? If one is bad you can rattle to death. I don't find it necessary to lower tire pressure, but I check patterns instead of filing it up to what's on the sidewall. I'd bet that your shocks are either not charged, or just not up to the task of handling the abuse that washouts can give them. Get something heavy duty, and charged at a minimum. I like OME for vehicle/load specific, and the adjustable Rancho's if I'm running at different weights, like an empty/loaded truck bed. If you've already got the right shocks then I'd be looking into the springs as the problem. If they are too stif then the shocks won't be able to do much, too light and the truck will pick up a swaying rocking motion that can make you lose control. Good luck

And if damage does occur, you can always stitch it with dental floss.

I'm still trying to decide if "Mint" or "Waxed" is best for tire repair :-)
