You should be able to drop the '07+ up to 4" in the front with no change to ride quality and about the same in the rear with minimal effect on ride quality. Actually, a lot of those rear drops ride softer due to the softer springs used to drop it. I'm betting you're slamming on the bump stops, if not sitting on them in the rear.

How is yours dropped? List off the components to start.

Its lowered with 2" drop spindles and 1" lowering spring in the front and 5" spring in the rear. It more less rides rough in the front.

Did you change the rear shocks or are you just using extenders?

Yah normal in rear with their kits. Lets start with front did you use their 2 inch spindle and drop struts?

in rear did you use the hardware kit with shock extenders?

also in rear if you want a better ride ditch their springs and go with my shock/spring combo will sit lower and ride better.

oh yah free travel mod is needed when going more than 3 in rear

Yes I change the rear shocks and put aftermarket Procomp shocks
