Does the rear suspension look stiff to anyone else? If so any ideas how to soften it up and not destroy the ride. There is no sway bar shocks aren't limiting it there is plenty of slack in break lines.

A pic of the other side and from the rear would help.

Extended or progressive bump stops? My guess is you'd know just from how it rides if the rear is "too" stiff. Did the PO do the lift and tire install? If so then it looks like they may have opted to bump stop a lot and not do any trimming... Idk... My .02

Or is rear trimmed a bit?

I don't have one from the rear. Yes po did the lift does not look to be trimmed and there is no bumpstop contact in this picture.

Boomerang shackles if you don't already have them.

Go look at your shackles and see if you see any indications of the shackle rubbing or "maxing out" with the travel. You will know if thats the case because the area will be worn where its contacting the bracket. If thats the case then I would be inclined to guess that a set of aftermarket shackles should inprove that. If there is absolutely no binding then your spring pack was probably built from a truck spring and that is the extent of your compression. LMK how that rear shackle looks though.

All the brackets are good no sign of rubbing or contact on anything. I was suspecting stiff spring pack as well. I've considered boomerang shackles and shackle relocation problem is the rear set higher already.

You haven't lifted a tire in the pic and the front will usually out flex the rear. Front looks like it's pretty much stuffed on the passenger side. Find a bigger rock and go till you lift a tire if the rear still isn't hitting the flare or stuffed up in the wheel wells then it may be the spring pack.
