I've got an '89 suburban 1/2ton 2wd that I put in a fabtech 3" lift and 2" rear lifted leaf springs (not blocks). It also came w/ fabtech shocks to fit with the lift.

I have a really bouncy ride in the rear because of the bigger arch in the springs (I guess). I really want to try to improve the ride.

I posted a message a while back suggesting heavier duty shocks. Will that help a lot?? This is probably a dumb question, but the shocks work in both compression and extension of the shocks, right??

Any suggestions on what shocks to get for the rear and will those fit with a 2" lift?

Thanks!
