Default suspension help

i wouldve posted this in the suspension section but it looked dead in there haha, well since i dropped my truck it looks good but it seriously rides like straight up lol what shocks and other components should i go with to give it at least a decent ride? right now its dropped about 3/5 or 4/5 with cut coils in the front and drop leafs and shackles in the back....and i know the coils being cut doesnt help the ride at all lmao

no, no c notch yet thats definately on my list, i trimmed down my bump stops in the back and they have like an inch and a half of room between them and the rear axle, but it still hits a lot....what else?

A C-notch would probably help more than anything else.

air shocks in the rear... I had DJM drop shocks and the ride wasn't that bad but when I switched to air shocks it was A LOT better. got them at Autozone for about $80 a pair...... as for the front I still have DJM drop shocks and its a very smooth ride..... no matter what you do, once you drop the truck you can't get the same ride quality as stock
