Also depends on the tires. If you go to something like the 26's I went with, there is less sidewall so the ride is hard. Lowering will sacrifice ride quality no matter what.

Mine did that before the free travel mod and still a tad bit after the mod. I installed helper bags, run them at 5psi and it's back to smooth as butter. That's with a 5" rear drop.
