[QUOTE="H D, post: 1014559, member: 68494"] I had a similar issue until I replaced the body mounts about a month ago. The frame, suspension and body were all going their own way it seemed. Around bends or on bumps, I could feel the suspension settle, the frame get still and then the body would rock into place. Hard to describe that feeling; maybe someone else knows what I'm talking about. Anyway, could it possibly be your body mounts? Or could they at least be playing a part in that? Of course, as far as parts go, shocks aren't all that expensive, so trial and error wouldn't be disastrous if you tried an extended Rancho. If it fixes your problem, great. If not, sell them at a slight loss and find another solution. I would just really worry about compression on a longer shock. You're still going to have the same up travel as stock so you want to make sure you aren't bottoming out the shock and destroying it. Larger bumpstops could prevent that, though. [/QUOTE]
