You want a progressive rate spring and a quality shock to fix your ride. Look at MetalCloak's dual rate coil springs and Bilstein 5100 or OME shocks as an example. Longer arms won't fix the "rough" in Rough Country.

Since your driving on a lot of washboard, some remote reservoir Fox 2.0 shocks will drastically smooth out the rough off road ride having more sensitive dampening than non res shocks. I too am forced to deal with a ton of washboard where I live, running Fox 2.0 remote res shocks paired with EVO plush ride coils smooths out all the off road ride.

X2 progressive rate springs are nice. RK makes some too. Mine ride pretty good. The Fox shocks are a bit stiffer on the highway than the 5100s.

x2 on the Fox being stiffer. I ran Bilstein 5100's before the Fox RR's. The Bilsteins were a nicer ride on road, off road though Fox takes the cake IMO.

As stated above the 5100's are the Bilstien shocks.
No the arms are not adjustable. They are the factory arms. Just some drop down brackets. Its a cheap setup but at the time I was anxious to get it sitting on 35's and their lift was the cheapest and said " that's a helluva deal" we'll as u can tell now I'm kicking myself in the a** and wish I would've just put up the money and did some more research in the beginning. What is your website to see the products you promote?
