Default 35's and Budget Boost on a 2011 JKU really bumpy

Hi great info on here, I just put a set of BFG AT KO 35's along with a rough country 2.5 budget boost and the ride is kind of bump. I can really feel the bumps in the road alot more. Is this normal cause I went cheap and did the budget boost? any recommendations? thanks as always

How much air (psi) is in the tires. Sounds like they may be over inflated

I would drop to 30 lbs and do a chalk test. Then if necessary you can go lower from there
