Roush suspension not work with 02?

I just called Roush to order my suspension and they said that it doesn't work with the 02 L's. They said that it would be riding on the bumpstops in the rear. What gives?

How is the 2001 different from the 2002? I have Roush on my 2001. I also stole the rear bumpstops from my fathers 99...
I haven't drove it yet with the new suspension but it doesn't look like it is too bad.

I was told the same as well when I bought it for my 2000. I know the 2001/2002 bumpstops on the rear are huge. They also think there may be a small mount point change in the 2001/2002s... I know Don ran into something with his shocks that I didn't on my 2000.

I bottom out every once in a while with my stock uncut bump stops, but nothing too bad.

Well this just sucks. I thought i had finally found the suspension that i wanted and it doesn't work. Anybody know any good suspensions that work well on a road course and still provide good road manors for daily driving (translation = stiff, but not bouncy)

ROUSH may have been a bit bouncy for you then.. I don't mind so much, but unless you're into that sports car feel, the ROUSH springs will come off as being very stiff...even with adjustible shocks..

I'm not sure the Hotchkis stiffness compared to the ROUSH set for the rear leafs...

Actually what i am after is stiff, not bouncy. I want the sports car feel. I don't want spongy or bouncy. I know it is alot to ask from a 4800lb truck, but i'm demanding

When I say bouncy, I don't mean floaty at all. I meant, if the road is bumpy, you feel bumpy.
