Rough Ride

I installed a fabtech 3.5" spidle lift couple of months ago, and ever since my truck has been a lot bumpier on the road, is this normal? i got replacement shocks for both front and back and 1" block in the back with the Spindles. The tires look straight so i have not done an alignment since the install, would that make it a smoother ride?

Did you change tires? The spindles would have no affect on ride quality, but the new shocks would.

i got 33" AT BFG tires and fabtech replacement shocks, so is it normal for it to be a rougher ride than stock?

The BFG's are gonna ride rougher than the OEM tires because of their stiff sidewalls. What pressure are you running in them? I'd suggest 40 psi for daily driving.
