Firstly, what type of shocks did you use and did you cut the springs?

zeriam if u coulda move the spring with ur hand then there is evidently a play there and that means that spring wasnt providing much tension, u have any warranty on them shocks if they were not up to scratch together with this terrible road they probably shot already, this happened to me a while back with the back shocks and i got it changed
