RC shocks may as well be 2x4's. Also 20" wheels aren't helping your case.

 

I appreciate the response however as stated above it rose great.... then suddenly started riding worse. The wheels didn't change size during that time, haha. All kidding aside, I believe I will change location of the uppers in the aev brackets and possibly bite the bullet and replace the shocks to the billsteins. We'll see what that does for me.

 

Just busting your balls

On a serious note: I'd pass on the Bilsteins and look at the Rancho 9000's. The adjustability really is night and day, and they'll improve your ride quality...I can guarantee it, and so can Rancho (they run a 90 day satisfaction guarantee)!

Bilsteins are gas charged, which inherently makes them a little stiffer (like the Fox). I run the Fox shocks, but I also have very soft coils (Rock Krawler triple rates) and no rear sway bar. It keeps my Jeep planted, and rides great...but is nowhere near as soft as my Ranchos ran on the street. In your case, the RC coils are pretty stiff...so I think it'd be a huge mistake to pair them with a gas charged shock if you're after a softer ride. I only ditched the Ranchos for 3 reasons: I wanted more travel for rock crawling, I sheared the adjustment knobs on the rocks, and I no longer DD my Jeep.

 

Thanks for the info, it was very helpful as I did not know what shocks would work well with my springs.

 

Since a lot of RC lifts like to use a drop pitman arm, just double checking the obvious......you didn't flip the drag link IN ADDITION to having a drop pitman arm from the lift correct? You have a flipped DL with the factory pitman arm and raised TB bracket?

 

No I removed the drop pitman arm when I did the flip. I lowered my pressure in my tires to 26 before I left work tonight and it seemed slightly better. I paid more attention on this ride and have realized it is likely the shocks. I noticed that it's happening worse on sections of highway that have many bumps or rough spots together. So it seems like the shocks are losing dampening or rebound very quickly as it gets worse the more bumps I hit when it's many in a row. Anyone disagree with that seeming the likely cause?
