If you were concerned about ride you should have ran spindles and hangers/shackles for a stock ride without having to buy new shocks. Unless they are worn ofcourse.

Your rough ride is mainly due to the drop coils and leafs. Drop coils at 2" drop don't ride that bad. With 2" drop coils and a large heavy tire like you have a worn shock will hurt your ride greatly. Leafs are a poor way to drop a truck in the first place. Others will try and debate me, but facts are facts. I'm specifically speaking for your truck and application.

Tip- In the rear run a cut stock bumpstop for best ride. Poly bump stops suck.

Truck looks good!
