i believe with the taco ones the bottom notch is the one to run with those coils. also the rear did you change your shocks? did u get an adjustable pan hard bar or drop bracket?

I have brand new bilstein 1525s shocks in the rear and no I do not have
A pan hard bracket or adjustable bar. The shock adapter makes
Alot of noise when going over bumps..
The adapter makes the eye to eye shock fit the top body shock mount
Sounds loose but everything's tight
 
Here's the runner 97sr5
5spd
285/70/r16 nitto trail grapplers..

Not that much weight I have my sub and box in the back
As well as my surf boards... Can the weight affect the bounce?
I got the 891s for a deal that's why I bought them cheap

Good looking truck.
Bouncing? no. but they will certainly give you a rougher ride. Those things are made for some HD weight. Some people like riding them that stiff,

"bouncing" means suspension oscilates after a bump? Or are your tires coming off the ground after you hit something?
 
I have the same set up in the rear but with 890s and I think I know the exact sound your talking about. My does the same thing when I hit a good pot hole or going over speed bumps, it sounds like my shocks are really loose and clonking around. It doesn't sound good but when I check the bolts everything seems to be tight and good

That's the same sound I have in the rear like they are loose
But I'm going to take a air wrench and retighteb today
I'm also going to compress the coils and drop down a notch
Ill keep you guys posted thank you all for the help!
