I just finished on the 6" BDS Long arm system with blocks in the rear and standard shocks. My firs impression of the lift is stiff and bouncy. I put a 6" Revtek on my last Mega and that rode much nicer as far as not being bouncy and stiff. Everything else was equal as far as same exact tire and size, same wheel and offset. Has anyone had any experience with either of these lifts that they can offer? I am going to check and see what the tire pressure is this morning to make sure they aren't overinflated but my last truck was at about 45PSI.

shouldnt have went with standard shocks.

i have BDS on my truck and it rides better than stock

BDS and everyone else I talked with said the better shocks would make for a stiffer/ firmer ride. They said if you want the most plush ride for non-4wheelin, than to go with the standard shocks. The standard shocks on my Revtek were much better. We'll see how it goes.

Better does not mean stiffer. Maybe they said that because what they claim to be better shocks are just valved to be more firm. Their problem is probably in the coilspring. The spring rate is probably too high, even higher than stock. Then they use a soft shock to try and compensate, and it can't control the coilspring, which is why you describe the ride as "bouncy".

agreed ..........

zmock8

Yes, you are right on. That is why it won't help to get the better shocks.

Bad springs....swap the stockers back in with a spacer to experiment. I bet you like it better. Then find some bilsteens or better and you will be really grinning.
