Some guy fully boxed his frame and it didn't fix the issue for him..

Damn that's going quite the distance to try and fix it too...
Tell me about it..

If you connected the two sides in a few spots and left the end of the tubing open it may.
Are all these trucks sporting staggered rear shocks?
It seems there's possibly a bunch of things causing this.
I bet traction bars would help. They won't fix the issue because the axle isnt the problem. The ends of the springs are fixed and the frame is spaghetti noodling while the spring hangers stay put. Having the rear axle dampers staggered may allow that harmonic noise to be absorbed.
If y'alls shocks are just clamped around the axle you may try putting them both on the rear and seeing what happens.

no chit? did he give up on the doodge?Has anyone replaced rear springs and noticed a difference?
It can only be two things. The frame/chassis or suspension. From what everyone describes it sounds like resonant harmonic garbage that is building up enough to start to oscillate.
I wish i had a 6.7 to see this on. My dad got a 16eclb last week but ill maybe never see it. Its already got 1400 miles on it. It aint parked much. Maybe ill ask him to use it tomorrow.

It has to be frame oscillation.
My buddy used to laugh at my lmm and lml trucks. They were all cclb. They have round tubing going from side to side and its open on each end. I believe this is collecting those harmonics and allowing them to decay. The fact that they are dead still from 0-92 tells me it works.
Someone with an older truck sack up and run heavyish pipe across in a few spots and weld it up.
holy hell..It had 200k+ on it....
His logs showed he worked it 355 days since June of 15...averaged 600/day

This is almost exactly what I did and it made it go away in my truck.
One brace across the radius arms, and one back right in front of the fuel tank. Made them with 0.1875" wall 2" DOM tubing and 1/4" plate. b With both braces and the traction bars the hop was gone. Honestly the Chevy frames and tube x members were also an inspiration for this.
I recently removed the front brace because I was changing over to a PMF 4 link kit. Have about 250 miles on it as of today, with a lot of it in that 40-43mph section where I had the hop before and it still hasn't come back. Have a bit more body roll because of the 4 link, but will be getting an upgraded sway bar to help with that
