Default Front End Float

I did the T-bar lift, 2 turns, 243/4" from wheel center to fender lip.
Had the front end aligned, install the Bilstien shocks. When driving
it feels like the front end is "floating". Similar to driving a pick-up
truck witha ton of gravel in the bed. Like there is reduced weight on the front wheels. Any suggestions? Thanks

Floating? My front end got tighter but I kept the original shocks with just an extender.
Is the floating less control or more comfortable?

The feel of less control. The ride is a little spongy

No, it's due to the fact you are no longer resting on the bump stops as it was from the factory. Best thing you can do is to add these to your shocks to reduce nose dive and body roll. Be warned that they may be hard to get over the shock mounts due to the h3 front shocks having that crazy mounting bracket on them. Worst case is you can split them, slide them over the shock rod and tie wrap them back together: http://www.trailduty.com/index.php?c...13_130_296_392

Why not just add longer bump stops??
