Trying to figure out some affordable solution to fix my ride. I have an 05 king cab lifted 3 inches in the rear with blocks and skyjacker shocks but the rear suspension is EXTREMELY stiff and wont travel much. not sure whats up with it. rides terribly. could use some suggestions.

I'd start with swapping the shocks, and if that doesn't work try a deaver spring pack. The shocks could be too short to use with blocks too, you should post a part # on those skyjackers

Do you have a 2wd? For 2" and above rear lift you need a CBDB
You also might want some better rear shocks. For a 2wd the 4x4 Icons would be good, and for a 4x4 the Bilstein 5125s.

If you can swing the extra $, the Radflos are great. Radflo 2" reservoirs

Interesting thought about shock length, read the reviews:

Sounds like I was spot on!

It's probably not a good thing when your shocks function as a limit strap. Makes me think that maybe I kept blowing my SAW shocks because they were too long. They are one size larger than OEM I think.

Might try to swap shocks I know mine are plenty long though. I have the cbdb already and that wouldn't affect suspension travel much without breaking anyway, nigh try the deafer pack if different shocks don't work
