Angry Wrong Lift

Installed a tough "rough" country suspension on my 2000 psd recently. Big mistake. Rides like a tank. 2.5" progressive leaf pack in front and 1 add -a-leaf in back. Which is causing the problem? Will upgrading the shocks help? Thanks All

Upgrading the shocks will help some, but not make it really smooth. The stiff ride is just part of that kit.


Hope this helps.

I installed the same lift/level kit you have. It does ride a little more firm, but I just adjusted my RS9000's to fit. I use setting #2 on the front and #1 on the rear. With the rancho's it rides like before or better in town. I do firm up the shocks on the freeway or if I tow of course.

I'd try new shocks, and reccomend adjustable ones. That might solve your ride problem.

Thank you for the input. I chose the lift because my local mod shop in SLC, UT Jack-It swore by this lift. It didn't give me as much lift as advertised. 1 3/4" was all I got out of it.
