Update:

Drove it to Tennessee, with the wife and daughter in the back seat, and they bitched all the way about the roughness of the ride...It seemed to hit on the bump stops hard on the slightest little bump in the road.

The son and I were fine up front though. I'm thinking I need a better lowering shock, than the ones supplied with the GF Kit...any suggestions?
Lift it. :lol:

:rollin:
You could always not carry passengers in the back seat. If it bottoms out with passengers, how can you haul anything in the bed and still call it a truck? :jester:

It's still a Truck buddy! I can still haul anything I need too. I just won't haul the wife in the back again until I find a solution to this issue. :dunno:

My wife just has a very nice "sensitive" ASS, thats the problem...:lol:

Check the wheelwells Joe. See if there is any evidence of the tire hitting the top of the wheelwell. A friend of mine has a 07 Chevy lowered 4/6 and his bottomed out in the actual wheelwells. :dunno: His is a reg cab, so I would think yours would probably be easier to bottom out.

Thanks Scotty :tmc: I've looked and its not hitting the wheel wells( it's just a 2/4)...it hitting the bump stops for sure. Kinda seems, the shocks are too weak??:dunno:

Are they stock bump stops, or ones that came with the kit :dunno:

Hey Joe, I figured out a solution, it is really easy as well.

Just get another truck to take the family out in, problem solved. :) :jester:
