Whats up with the front suspension? Why do you have to Put Ratchet Straps all over it to pull w/o the front end turning to jello ?

I understand 05 thru 07 those are coil sprung. Can't tell you on the 03 and 04 trucks as they are leaf sprung trucks

They do not strap the leaf spring trucks, just the coils. Coils need to be compressed to minimize the decompression of the spring, and that cuts down on the wheel hop. Heavier springs or better shocks are supposed to help the problem also.
