I can’t comment on the springs, but in the first video, the truck continued to rock side to side a couple more times after you stopped pushing on it. That’s a sure sign of ineffective/blown shocks.

Yup. That is also what I am thinking. The shocks only has 15.000km on them and I am sure that are fine..

May6just not strong enough.

So just wanted to give an update.

I ended up replacing the standard Terrain Tamer TGS expanded body shocks to Terrain Tamer PRO adjustable shocks.

What a difference. Even when set to 1 (softest) they are harder. Still need to play around to find the perfect setting but so far 4 feels ok.
Might turn the dampning up a little later.

Glad you found a solution .
Probably not cheap , but you can use them
For many years to come .
Plus they certainly can be rebuilt if leaks or performance drops .
Consider that a good practice is to renew them every 3 -4 years , also without any oil leak .
Oil will degrade with use .
Just my experience with shocks
