Default Rough ride

Recently replaced original 117,000 mile rear shocks and bump stops that were literally gone. Replaced with Koni STR.T shocks and Hawks bump stops. Man when you hit a bump it’s literally a SHOCKING experience. Not sure if the bump stops might need to be trimmed or maybe the shocks will break in some. Any thoughts? Rear wheels are 18x10.5”

They’re not stock, but same size as stock. They’re polyurethane.

Why don’t you go dig some more **** up from 9 years ago. Has ZERO to do with this post. I was on LS1Tech before my friendship with him and still to this day. He has no shop, no building was ever built. Of course he was banned and couldn’t reply to say that. I’ve asked my name be changed so every time I post something I don’t get hassled over this.

Not wise to post under your current username. I didn't have to dig up anything.....one of those links is a sticky on this site.
