have a 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD and a few months ago I installed a lift kit that consistes of 4″ lift spindles, 2″ coil spacers, 4″ rear blocks and rear shocks. The manufacturer of the kit (Suspension Tech) said that I did not have to replace the front shocks to use this kit. However, after installing the kit, I noticed that I was experiencing quite a bit of rebound whenever I hit dips in the road or went over speed bumps. After just a couple of weeks, one of the front shocks broke in half, so I replaced them with Monroe nitrogen shocks that were basically the same length as the stock ones. Still, however, I am experiencing the same amount of rebound. Some suggest that I might need bigger and better shocks, but I find it a little hard to believe (since I paid about $70 per shock, they are nitogen shocks, and it’s only a 2WD half-ton truck). So my question is: do i, in fact, need bigger and better shocks? Or could my problem possibly be because the aftermarket shocks I have on there now are too short; and if so, what length shocks do I need to replace them with? Any suggestions as to a remedy would be greatly appreciated (as it is very annoying to be bouncing up and down going over any kind of dip in the road).

I am considering purchasing a car with a body kit that hasn’t lowered or had any mechanical mods (ie. the car runs great cause it hasn’t been f**ked with by a kid that doesn’t know what their doing)
So bodykit looks like it will stop me from going over certain speed bumps in my neighbor hood and else where around my city so i was wondering if there was a way to get hydraulics or air bags that dont alter your current suspension because I have heard that hydraulics expecially will mess with the general “bumpyness” or smoothness of the ride’s suspension and i really dont want that soo HELP =)
