Default Help! My 2wd has a Terrible Ride

Ok guys, I have a 2wd ECSB silverado with the coil front suspension. I have installed a 3" spindle kit from fabtech and I currently have the Pro Comp ES9000 shocks installed. I have driven on this setup for about 12,000 miles and I simply cannot get used to the rough ride. Are there better shocks that I can buy that will fit my truck? Ive tried getting the adjustable rancho shocks but they dont make anything in the length that i need.

I was thinking of Bilstein but i dont know.

Please HELP!! My kidneys cant take much more.

Try out the softest bilstiens you can get... That should make hings better I would think.

It is the shocks. I second the motion to switch them out for Bilsteins.

I am running rancho 5000's on my jeep. I like the ride even with the stiffer leaf springs. Granted this is a different suspension setup. I would go with the bilstiens or the ranchos.

I recommend going to your local motocross shop and buying a kidney belt.

My truck rides the same way from the shocks.
