Thanks Skidmore.

When not hitting bumps of any size, it rides great, but as soon as it hits a bump, again of any size, it feels like the truck is being assaulted. It's definitely worse in the front end - perhaps the shocks or one of the shocks is no good?

In the rear I removed the bump stops and since doing so it's been much better but if I hit a good sized pothole it'll bottom out.

For the front, perhaps I yank the springs that the PO put in and replace with new ones along with drop spindles so I can run longer shocks? And for the rear replace the springs along with drop blocks so I can again run longer shocks?
