Default Rear lowering very hard

I put a lowering kit Belltech (Front 2" and rear 4")with the new shock absorbers
Since my rear suspension is very hard, my shock does not move hardly.
Would a solution, new leaf springs, withdrawal slide or else.
Thanks

well, what brand shocks did you put in?
i've heard belltechs kit shocks are junk,
better to go with either a toxic or even a generic autozone shock thats the proper size,
take the shocks out, and jump on your tailgate i'll bet it'll be smoother

also what did you use to drop it?

i've got 5" drop in the rear and its fairly smooth on stock shocks, keep in mind i only have an inch of suspension travel

Shocks make a huge difference.
