Sonoran Steel System 1 Ride Quality

[rjaudi]

Just installed my Sonoran Steel system 1.1 that I got used off of craigslist for 550. It had 7k miles when it was removed from a wrecked 4runner. I also got some Rubicon express lower links in the deal, but never installed them. I came from a 97 suspension with 173k miles on original shocks and springs. I can feel every bump in the road with the Sonoran Setup and was wondering if this was normal? I have an ARB on the front with no winch. I got it aligned, but that didn't make much difference.

I have the 1.2 lift and it is stiffer than the stock set up. So.... more bumpy.

You bought a stiffer suspension my friend. What you are experiencing is normal. Deflate your tires a little if its bothering you too much

Just to update this. My original problem was that the suspension seemed excessively bouncy. I called Steve at Sonoran Steel up and I ordered the new front Bilstein 5100 shocks up to replace the Trekmasters. I also switched the rear Land Cruiser springs to OME 890's. I now am extremely pleased. The ride is very stable and I get no more bouncing when going down the road.
