So, I've had my lift on for a couple weeks. And, I Absolutely love the look of my truck now. Other members have stated a "better ride" over stock set up. Stock, my truck felt pretty tight. Was happy with the way it drove. My first impression of the lift, is that my truck seems, i dunno...loose? Like I'm in a buick Park ave or something. I just went with the cheapo white shocks with the zone kit. I'm guessing the fox 2.0's ride more stiff? Another thing I'll mention is the tires. I am really hoping its the majority of my problem. I got a set of 325/60/20 older nitto terras off craigslist. They have about 60% tread. When they were mountes and balanced he said they kept asking for more weights. So, they put some kind of bead? On to get them balanced right. In the process of looking for different tires asap. Any thoughts guys?

I agree. New shocks should firm up the handling some. If the tires needed a lot of weight to balance it's surprising you don't have some vibration issues.

Assuming you're running stock shocks up front, you may want to look into the fox 2.0 c/o's as well as doing the rear (depending on your budget).

Cheap shocks with worn out tires that won't balance correctly = lousy ride

I was hoping you guys would confirm my suspicions, Thanks. I am currently running bils up front, so I dont believe that to be a factor.
