Default New leveling kit and shocks

Hey guys,
Got my leveling keys installed today. I already had the t-bar cranked 1 inch and they said they brought it up 1.5 inches for a total of 2.5 inches. I love the looks of it but I went off roading and it beat me to DEATH!! While I am driving and I hit bumps I can feel this popping sort of thing through the steering wheel. And it takes bumps HARD!! So does this sound like my shocks are topping out? They are stock. The back is way to soft and the front way to hard now. I am going to order new shocks if that`s what you guys think it is.

Thanks

I do not have a 4x4 but on most trucks that you put a level in, you will need new shocks.

I'm running them. They're ok, not the best in the world but they do the job. Yes, you are topping your shocks out for sure with that much lift on stock shocks.
