This post isn't about how to install the kit,it's about the shocks that came with it. I purchased it from ebay from Hammerhead 4x4,it's a Fatbobs garage kit. Anyways,the rear shocks are terrible,to the point of being unsafe. Hit a decent bump and they will bounce 3-4 times,also giving the truck a wallowing feeling. I can bounce off the rear hitch and it will bounce several times,just like wore out shocks. So,is this normal from these shocks or just a bad set? the fronts are fine. Gonna call them tomorrow,just wanted a little feedback.

It will, I did the same thing. Add front/rear sways and it'll handle like it should have from the factory. I'm guessing the shocks that came with the kit weren't pressurized?
