Drop 5psi in your tires.. What kinda shocks you got? Try new shackles if yours are rusted up..

lol, you have 35s and 4" lift... i'm not sure your going to really get that sweet of a ride out of that. You could try shackles though, they should give you a little more flex in your suspension, so things won't be so bouncy.

You could also carry some extra weight around behind your rear axle to engage the suspension not so much it bottoms out but enough to keep you from bouncing around?

Could loosen up your torsion bars some, and swap some 63" chevy springs in the back. Shocks with less harsh valving.

All good suggestions above. Of course, dropping air pressure or throwing weight in the back is gonna cost you gas mileage.

What kind/brand of lift, springs, and shocks?
