question about my shocks and some other suspension questions
I just bought my truck and it's got a spindle lift and a body lift and 33" tires. It's a 3.0L 5spd and 2wd with a 7.5" rear.
Now the shocks are Fox shocks with some sort of remote resevoir. I don't know **** about them or how to use them. Plans are to eventually put a LSD in and some steeper gears and go offroad a bit. My only real concern is my suspension seems very very tight. it bounces quite a bit. I'm thinking the shocks can be adjusted somehow and if i loosened them a bit i'd be better off catchin a little air in the dunes.
Also, will i get more flex disconnecting the sway bars? front or rear or both?

what type of lift do you have in the rear? is it lift blocks, add-a-leafs, or new springs?
if you have lift blocks or add-a-leafs, that is most likely why your suspension is stiff.....
if you remove boths sway bars you will get more wheel travel(flex)......but i wouldn't recommend removing them and driving your truck on the road.......

I believe they're add-a-leafs, but I'm not positive. So do you think the suspension is up for getting beat on?
