Im not super knowledgable about diagnosing problems with these trucks and I apologize if this question was asked before but I ran a search and all I got was a thread on airbag suspensions.

my 98 ecsb z71 bounces in the rear end when I brake at higher speeds(50+) and I thought It might be the shocks or my drums so redid my drums and shoes on the back and got some shock for it but it still bounces. any suggestions? brake fluid is fine and I bled the lines. no hang up on Pbrake lines.

its legit bouncing or it feels like its got a vibration? if the beds bouncing its u bolts, if the rear end is hoping you could have a bent axle shaft if its just a vibration check for slop in u joints or your pinion or axle shafts as well.
