from the pics, it seems the front shocks are 4600, not 5100 (I think the 5100 shocks do not have the hard plastic cover). Could that be the reason for the harsh ride?

I replaced my old coils (Performance Products 2" lift coils and Bilstien 4600 shocks) because the ride had deteriorated to the point my truck drove like an empty 1ton P/U. They were over 10years and 100,000 miles old. These felt really good when newer, nice and firm but not harsh.
So I went with Dobinson C59-131 and C59-276 coils (10% firmer than stock) and Bilstein 5100 shocks.
My truck drives the same as with my old set up plus the truck seems to roll more on turns. The ride is very stiff, not firm. I can feel a wet toothpick on the road and every rut or bump. I was hoping they would be a little softer with new shocks and 'light' duty coil springs. Not happy with them.
Pictures cuz every one wants pictures.
