Default Leveling Kit Installed

I just installed my Auto Spring 2" leveling Kit with the new wheels and tires
I love the way it looks but the ride seems to be more rough than stock. Anyone else experience this?

Mine was riding kinda rough, when I put my 2 1/2 inch level on it, I found that one of my springs (drivers side) was broke at the bottom. Put some cheap ebay coilovers on and it rides really smooth now, gonna replace the rear shocks in a couple of weeks too see how smooth it gets. Check the front coil springs, they are known to break on our vehicles.

I run my e rated tires at 35 front and 30 rear. I set pressures by chalking the tread and driving in short distances till I got equalcoverage on the tread

Where did you get those wheels? I like that style and can't find them anymore.
