Dang I dont think there are any that would fit without bottoming out really bad. Found some for 21.99 each tho

Actually Found some that might fit just right and arent to expensive. Maybe I will run them untill coilovers then clean them up and try to take them back

I ordered the coilovers from FOA they are 6in 2.0body with 2.5 resevoirs. Should be pretty awesome when done Ive run FOAs before and they are just as top notch as king or fox IMO.

Well I put on some chepo rancho 5000s I got at the local auto part store they were the only ones that would fit lifted and turns out its exactly what was on it before. The old ones were certinaly wore out and in need of replacment but no change in vibrations -_-. feels better over bumps and rail road tracks but still wobbles and vibrates pretty bad =(

I know my ball joints and tierods are good. I had my pitman arm and idler arm inspected by firestone during my alignment but I'm not sure I trust them when I go get the tires rebalanced saturday I'm going to have them check everything.

Probably going to order the cognito support kits. The idler pivot assembly and the Pitman & Idler Arm Support Kit. I've been putting it off because its not flashy like coilovers or girdles but probably the most important thing if I'm going to do any off roading.

It hurts to spend so much money on things to correct factory errors. Should be saving for a new trans or a 6.0

You said you backed your torsion bars off a lot right???

Yes I think that is very possibly another part of the problem. If cranking torsion bars up makes the ride stiffer wouldn't cranking them down make it bouncy?

I would crank them back up a little but it already squats 3 1/2 lower in the rear than the front and I hate it! not to mention drive line angles would get worse.
