Rough/Bouncy Ride

[john68c10]

This thread has caused me to take a closer look. Now, here's my updated take on things...

At least 80% of the issue is on the rear...in fact if the rear was as good as the front...I would never have posted.

One thing that I didn't think to mention is that my truck is equipped with the helper leaf spring in the back and, since lowering, it is just contacting at ride height. So, definitely with this additional spring...any action will see the combined stiffness of both the rear spring and the helper spring.

Question(s) Should I remove the helper spring ? Is the helper spring adjustable ?

Second, the rear shocks are at approximately a 45° angle, therefore I'm getting at best only a percentage of full shock effect...so a shock relocation kit is called for.
