We used 3/4” styrofoam panels on the floor for a while. It worked, but we now have a Bedrug and it is much better. Same for the walls. i have seen people us Reflectrix (sp?) that you can buy at home improvement stores for the walls.
It was bouncing really bad. It still does it a little, but does not make me want to go back to stock. I only replaced the rear shocks but plan to do the front this fall.
I had issues with my Gladiator so installed Fox 2.5s and Dobinsons HD coils. I ended up having to crank both of the adjustments all the way up and it helped a lot.
I have not noticed any markings or rubbing on the tent, I will look closer this weekend. We leave the bedding in the top too so we have to tuck too. I usually have my wife tuck the sides near the shocks while I tuck the back.
I asked my installer if they were needed to protect the tent or just for aesthetics. They said just for aesthetics so I stoped trying to out them back. But it is annoying.
I had the same issue.there are still one or time I can hear when the tops are off but I cannot find them. Since I cannot hear them with the tops on, I gave up.
We found that the Kuat helps as a step. We added skateboard grip tape to it though after my wife’s foot slipped off when it was wet and skinned her shin.
Bought a JT Mojave and then dumped almost the cost of the truck on an ACCC, awning, lift, regear, bigger tires, skids, lights, bumpers, winch, fridge, etc.
