I have a 96 k1500 non z71 frame, underneath a 98 z71 body. When I swapped the frame, I put a 2 inch leveling kit. It rides nothing like it used to. Its so rough. It feels like there is metal rods underneath.. no shock travel at all. Me and my dad realized there isn't any shock travel. When I cranked the bars, it took the shocks out the whole way. It feels like the frame is all one piece.. haha its hard to explain. Anyways,
what reccomeended shocks should I get? I want the smoothest ride possible. Id like to offroad. Theres no offroading at this point.
Is longer shocks gonna make a difference? My lift was a 2 inch.. or isnt it gonna be different since the torsion bars? I know the shocks are too short because they are stock. All my lift did was bring the frame to the same heighth as the previous z71 frame.
What's the problem with shocks to soft? I've heard people complain. But isn't a smooth ride what we want??
And I know this is a little of subject.. but with a 2 inch lift, would you need longer sway bar, or sway bar end links?
Any advice would be helpful. . Thanks!
Anyways please offer some advice.
