    So I installed an OME 3" lift 886 I have a TAG bumper on the front, dakars in the back and im running adjustable uca in the front. My problem im having is I can feel every single bump in the roand. Im running 275 70 17 coopers and stock fj rims but the thing rides like it has square wheels on it. Any one else have this problem? is it because of the extra weight in the front? everytime I go over a speed bump or a slight ( 2 or 3 inches) the suspension will slam hard. whats the deal?

    What PSI are you running? The suspension might need to settle a little bit

    Where is your caster? should try to get 2.5-3 on caster, and zero camber and zero toe.

    As far as the caster goes I don't know. I do know that the toe is a little of cause I'm burning up the inside tread but the cater and camber I'm not sure.

    My thoughts are to much weight on the front or I need better shocks or softer coils up front

    Thought about doing an air ride all the way around nothing crazy just something to try and soften it up
