Maybe the keys are in question too, at this point there's been no shortage of guys on the sight asking if they could combine 6" kits with 3" keys and get to 9"SMH

GM bars are left and right specific and have a front and back, are the bars installed correctly? I learned this the hard way, truck would have been at full droop with an insane amount of pressure on the bars with the bolts out. Getting them back in the correct orientation fixed this for me.

ok, then it's the way they are indexed, one flat off, can create this. Along with what SC111, there's a right and left and also front and rear. need to be oriented properly.

I should point out that, with the bars incorrectly installed, indexing the keys was not a viable fix.

I’m not fighting droop I’m fighting bouncing around in the front end feeling like it’s extremely tight

If the suspension is fully extended then it is at full droop.

Shocks topped out, etc, need to get it down a bit. Can look at it and see it's tall for what a 6 inch should be. What do cv angles look like? Are they back to being bad. if you're having this much trouble with a 6 " kit there's something not quite right. most times looking at a pretty factory like ride.

and then the problem is lack of compression because of the increased preload, so you get bounces instead of being compliant. Shocks seem to work better when in a neutral position and not trying to work at one end.
