Hmm.. rear end is too stiff now, wat should i do?
Ever since i threw on my belltech 6400s and fox emulsions in the rear, it seems actually stiffer then stock.. like even when i go over a speed bump slow, instead of absorbing the impact it just feels like its bouncing. The leaf springs have no arc to them whatsoever, their flat. I want something that will absorb bumps more so i feel them less, i know being an offroader we all want this.. but from everything i have learned on this site and RPS you all seem to suggest this route, the shackles and fox emulsions. I know the front is stiff, and i plan on doing coilovers soon, but wtf is with the stiff rear end? My buddys dodge dakota runs smoother than hell.
suggestions? I was thinking doing a prekey block replacement and just moving up 1 hole on the shackle to get a little more arc back but im not sure that would fix the problem. lookin for alittle insight.

Why does everyone need to lift the rear so much? The skyjacker leafs or deavers lift quite a bit and paired with shackles thats even more. The front is the problem with lifting, unless you have a superlift or RCD drop bracket....So if you have a BL ranger, add belltechs and skyjacker leafs, and have the Coil Overs, can the front be evened out to that amount of lift in the rear?

When my truck was stock I lifted the rear 1.25", which caused the stock shocks to overextend when I went over speed bumps. So I am going to say that you will need different shocks.
