Default 14 sierra rcsb lowered help!

wusup everyone. New here. I got a 2014 Sierra SLE Regular Cab 5.3. Its Sonama Red metallic. Every option available for a regular cab. I just recently lowered my truck on a 3/6 drop. I love the way it looks. No vibration issues, but its real bouncy now. the kit I got was a Mcgaughys deluxe. Came with front and rear shocks, lowering spindles, and of course the rear flip kit. I talked t. About 3 other guys and their trucks ride smooth. they told me to buy performance shocks. Qa1 shocks to be exact. And the guy told me with those shocks his truck rides smoother then ever. Those shocks are expensive so ima buy 2 at a time. I just don't know which ones to buy first,the rear or the front. I'd figure the rear would help alot more with the truck being so bouncy. Right or wrong? Anybody else have this problem?

Lowered suspension truck shocks are typically like that. I had the same kit on my rcsb. A set of cal-trac bars for a flip kit setup makes a huge difference!!! And trust me, you need them. Just try and do a burnout without them...wheel hop is worse than anything I've ever experienced...

that's what I've heard. Yeah my truck is way too bouncy now. So the cal-trac bars should give me a smooth ride? Or should I still change the shocks. I want a smooth ride. And the guy I talked to told me with these shocks the truck rides smoother then before.http://m.summitracing.com/parts/hal-ds601?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKEAiAxZKmBRD_5cCvs8SbxX sSJADZBCmdI3iTRTmtVdgpBg6AAUDMesf8XpT0TaU2FS5dne9F IxoClbfw_wcB

Alright. Well that's more money to spend on performance shocks. I still haven't cut off my bump stops, can that be causing the problem?

Cal-tracs will help, they did on mine, meaning it wasn't near as bad, but it'd still be somewhat bouncy on bad roads... Shocks will make the complete difference.

I guess I'll invest in the belltech shocks this week. And cut off my bump stops. Thanks
