I need some suggestions from you guys on what to do about my front suspension. It seems like bumps and dips will bottom out the front end when it clearly shouldn't be. For example, there's slight speed bump near my home that's maybe 6 or 7 inches tall, and if I drive over it too fast then my bump stops (on my frame) will touch the front axle. I have already replaced the front leaf springs (new/exact size & specs as what I had). I also have brand new Bilstein shocks (not the cheap ones either). I can't help but think that I may need to swap over from the single shock configuration to the dual shock setup like I know some Blazers have. Or, maybe I should consider adding an air bag between the frame and axle to soften the bumps. I'm looking for suggestions here. I'd rather go the dual shock route, but I have no idea where to start looking. Every salvage yard in Dallas has no K5's on the lot (trust me, I've looked). Need suggestions here...
