lowered truck rides rough rough, need help
 

Hi All
My truck has all new stock suspension, shocks etc, except springs.
it has been lowered, not exactly how, but guess shorter springs since all the other suspension parts are stock.
need advice on how to get a softer smoother ride,
i looked at our FAQ site but did not find anything
here are some photos so you can see the ride height.

Usually, shorter springs are stiffer, but I would check your shock absorbers to see if they have enough travel (make sure they do not bottom out before the suspension reaches full travel). Ride comfort/quality is subjective, especially with our trucks. ;)

If it is lowered a lot in the rear it might need shock relocators or it might be riding on the bump stops. The link in your post did not work for me.

sorry link won't open for you, i tried to upload some pics to this post but they will not load up.
the photo bucket link should open, not sure whats wrong,
some measurements;
center of hub to wheel well lip
front 16 1/2 inches
rear 11 inches

all 4 bump stops have about 1 inch clearance.

thanks

Also what is the height of the tires. I had some low profiles that made things real rough!

Re: lowered truck rides rough rough, need help
 

rear tires 29 inches tall 255/60R18

front tires 28 inches tall 255/55R18

If the bump stops only has 1 inch. Maybe its hitting going down the road.
