Default Need help with suspension on 03' Turbo Escalade

Anyone good in the area with suspension? I have an 03' Escalade built by Livernois Motorsports. They done a 3-4 Ground Force drop on it with the air ride back in 05. I got the esc in December and the truck has a very bad sway, wollow, or whatever you want to call it when you hit dips or bridges. I know it is not going to ride like stock but it shouldn't handle like this either. I ditched the Air ride set up and went with HD KYB shocks in the front and it cleaned up some. Then I decided to replace the rear and now I have the problem with the bottom out issue also. The shop that installed them are going to try the lowering shocks because they don't think it has enough travel. I was tempted to buy another complete kit and re-do everything with coils and all. Should I atleast raise it back up to a 2-3 drop instead of the 3-4? If anyone knows any tricks hit me up I am willing to pay. Just don't know to many go to places here in S.A. moved here from Dallas...There is know use having 500+ horse power if I can't enjoy it I am fustrated as hell

hey man. I got an 02 escalade EXT and started out with springs for the back and keys for the front. and thats how mine was, i hated every second of it. So i bought a set of McGaughy's spindles and threw them in there. I also put in all new urethane bushings in the suspension. Cut about a third of the bumpstops out in the back. I also have shock extensions for the back. I kept my air ride and worked around it. It handles excellent. PM me if you have any other questions
