    got my lowering kit on, few questions

    alrite just got my djm 4/6 drop on with 1'' rear shackles, so a 4/7 drop, i am using stock shocks, anyway in the rear it bounces real bad can fill every bump, im not scrubing at all and my notch is in the right place, question is, what can i do to improve the ride quality? or does it come with the territory? would lowered shocks help alot or what, thanks for any help

    BTW:will have pics up tonight, looks awsume!

    shocks are meant to operate in the middle of their travel range. yours are probably completely compressed. you need drop shocks for the amount of drop you have. if you have 4" drop control arms up front the factory length shocks are fine. hope this helps you. gary
