Default bouncy front end

front end is bouncy. its actually uncomfortable. what can i do to fix this problem. its been that way since i lifted it and got the new tires. do you think that it is the tires or the suspension. i didnt change the shocks when i lifted it. so maybe new shocks would help. one of the guys o work with said that if i lift the rear a few inches to give it some rake that it would transfer more weight to the front and smooth out but i dont know if that would work.

hopefully someone can help

Shocks dampen suspension movement. My guess is you now need to replace the shocks to match your new suspension.

yep.... with that lift its got more movement up front, if you get some off-road shocks it should stiffen it up a lil bit...

My 07 stock rides like a cadilac in the front. It pisses me off. I am looking for a way to stiffen the front. I am thing of putting in spring spacers instead of on top to level it.
