I thought mine rode pretty rough for a while because of the front coils. I was so used to riding in my magnum(RIP lol) which rode like a caddy and handled like a... wagon version of a vette... but I forgot that trucks are a little rougher. how long have you had the drop on? around a year right?

I have the same drop. I ran some 305/40/22 on the back for a little while with no problems. Did you remove the stock bump stops? If not, that's you problem.

I'm gonna order some shackles to bring the rear up to a 6" drop and order some doetsch tech shocks hopefully in about a week or two. That should solve everything. Thanks for all the input from everybody. Does anybody know a part # for the shocks or is customer service gonna know if I tell them my drop size???

if you have the stock rear hangers, 2" shackles will drop it more.
