    I thought that, but it feels like the springs are overpowering the dampening and aren’t giving the shocks a chance to do any work if that makes sense. If I crank the adjusters to stiff the ride is actually smoother at speed but still rough on small stuff. They probably need to be revalved, but I don’t want to spend that when I plan on going LT anyway.

    Just wondering but why are you going LT? It’s a whole different animal than mid travel. Be prepared to have stuff break more often and do maintenance more often as well. Not say anything bad about it just saying the realities of it.

    Well after a couple of weeks and help from @TacoAlaMode I've replaced all the suspension on the front of the truck. I think my drive shaft is giving a small vibration that is getting looked at on Tuesday.

    I think it would be a fun project. Again cost to use is out of the window, but it looks fun as hell to be able to hit stuff a little faster and get more travel out of the front.

    My garage is good creeper rolls smooth, actually think I’m gonna get my carport behind the shed concreted along with this lean too on the side so that’ll add a bunch of working space.

    Bounce comes from the shock not being tuned correctly for the spring rate and the vehicle. Take the shocks off and run 700# springs it'll bounce like you're on a trampoline. If you tune the shocks right those 650s will be fine. I'll probably end up with 600s on my LT and that has a greater ratio acting on the springs
