Ride quality stinks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need some suggestions to improve the ride quality of my dropped shortbed.

I have 3" Belltech spindles on the front with stock springs and shocks, and 1 1/4" factory sway bar. The rear has a DJM flipkit with shock extenders, Doetch Tech shocks, and stock springs.

The front suspension has been rebuilt and aligned in the last 6 months. I installed Engergy Suspension bushings in the front and rear.

The ride is stiff and gets annoying on rough sections of interstate. I was wondering about removing the shock extenders and re-installing the drop shocks. Any suggestions?
