I think 50% of my ride quality Issues are self generated. If you have normal profile tires I don’t think the ride quality is all that bad.

This is a good and bad thing. It will most definitely cause your rear sub frame to Crack because of the addition travel and flex. (Stock shocks dot allow the rear sub frame to move much) If it’s not already cracked. No big deal. I had my Subframe beefed up and it took care of the issue.
