Too much front-end dive
Have an 08 JK with re 4.5" la kit including re shocks. Went to Ocotillo over weekend and it performed very well except when there was more than 1 consecutive bump (or whoops). Very quickly, and at speeds of no more than 10 mph, the front-end would dip really low and not be able to recover in time for the next bump. I have an ARB front bumper and the warner winch with built-in compressor.
What is recommended to solve this? Different shocks? Hydraulic bump stops?
Thanks,
P.S. Tried multiple searches, but the topic is too broad to get anything of value.

You might give these things a shot

Whoops are smoother at higher speeds! You never said anything about bottoming out your suspension so I'm not sure what these guys are talking about... Maybe cuz they're not from SoCal. Sounds like a timing/speed issue. Unless you got coilovers, you either need to stay on top of the whoops with speed or... just barely creep over them.
Think I'll try the daystar first (cause they are so cheap) and if they don't work give the teraflex a try. Can I install the teraflex on just the front? Or do I have to purchase rear also?
Thanks,
Thanks,
