Re: Help: New suspension is almost un-driveable

I bought a set from Alcan after having all my teeth rattle out with a tough county lift. The 2 in all spring lift ride really nicely. I still have too much bounce but I looking at some better shocks to fix that.

Try them at 50 psi.
50 is still going to be really bouncy. I run mine at 30. I've gone as low as 25 on the road without any abnormal wear.

Re: Help: New suspension is almost un-driveable

How stiff did these trucks ride from the factory? My truck also rattles my fillings out, but it has factory springs with some lift blocks and aftermarket shocks. Maybe I need to do some investigating myself.
