Ok I just lowered my4x4 with GF 2" lowering springs with Kore high angle CV joints up front and belltech 3" drop leafs in rear. I also installed Monroe struts in the front and rear shocks made for 2-4 inches of drop. I love the look but after driving away from the auto shop the ride was horrible. It was soo bouncy to the point it made my GF a little sick. Will the ride get smoother over time or will it stay the same? If not I'm gonna try plan B.

Plan B: reinstall original leaf springs but remove overload spring and install 2" lowering shackles. this will give me 2.75" of drop in the rear.

Something has to give.

Never mind, after looking down below I noticed they didn't shorten the bump stops. I got the cut shorter now and the ride is great.
