Help please rough suspension
Please help I'm having trouble working out why my suspension on my 2012 jk unlimited is so rough its getting unbearable:mad I have searched the threads and was unable to find anything.
I'm running 2" Synergy springs front and rear, Teraflex 1" spring spacers, Teraflex tuned Fox 2.0 RR shocks front and rear, Teraflex monster track bar, Teraflex rear track bracket and Currie lower front arms.
Stock 31' tires at 28psi soon to have 33's fitted.
Aligned lasted week and came up spot on.
I have loosened all suspension components allowed it to settled and retorqued.
On big flowing bumps with no edges it's smooth as butter however when I hit small or large sharp or square edge bumps (we have alot of these here in Australia) its like the suspension is solid and is felt all through the car.
The front springs have the top 4' of the coil fully compressed when sitting level (been like this since new) the shop I brought them off tells me there ment to be like that and that part of the coil expands under full travel and is to catch the suspension as the spring begins to compress from full travel.
Is it the spring is it the shocks?
Should I be running the Teraflex springs with the Teraflex tuned shocks?
Please help its driving me mad

I'm no expert, but I'd be looking at the shocks. However, if you're going to install 33's soon, I would wait until after you install them before changing anything.
