I just removed and checked the rear shocks. Bilstein 5125 Shocks. Had to put some good pressure on them to collapse them. Guess they are still good but looking at new 5100 series shocks. Not sure if that a better route. My 5125's are about 9 years old

If you add more pressure to the bags does it seem to dip less?

no, tried around 90 and seemed worse. for whatever reason 65psi is the sweet spot. i am starting to think maybe the 35' bfg tires i have may be a part of the problem
