2016 Tahoe 2/3 drop stiff rear ride

[03mach281]

I think thats the problem, once you start driving the rear squats about 1/2". That's probably when the frame rest on the bump stop. To rule that out, remove the bump stops and take the suv around the block if the stiffness is gone, thats the problem. The fix would be the free travel mod or leave the bump stops off.

I didn't realize I never replied. The free travel mod was done when the lowering kit was installed. I have looked and nothing is hitting. I just seems like a spring rate issue because I unhooked the shocks and tried "jumping" on the rear bumper and still seems very stiff.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the red cylinder looking thing inside the rear spring?

Those are helper air bags for towing.
