Did you replace your stock bumpstops with shorter ones?
That can also be the cause of the bouncy ride.

With 6" in the rear stock bumpstops won't make it bouncy, it'd be slamming into the frame.

lol, youre right, I shouldve said harsh ride.
I made that mistake when I dropped my truck, every bump was tooth braking painfull, until I swapped bumpstops.

I notched my frame when I went 6 in the back. I thought you had to, oh well I have no complaints. Does everyone else have -2 degree of camber in the front? I was told that they couldn't get that out because of the lowered control arms. Thanks

i had 1 degree of negative camber with my LCAs. My brothers djm lca's are aligned perfectly though. All depends on the size of the tire. I got the matching UCAs and have no problems now!

You don't HAVE to notch for 6", but your frame will sit on your axle if you don't.

When I had it aligned to begin with I had the stock tires. Now I have a 275/30/24 and it seems like it pulls a little bit. I was thinking about going and having another alignment shop take a look at it and tell me what they think.
