Rough ride with Timbrens and Rancho 9000xls

So I thought it would be a good idea to put Timbrens on my truck. The Lance 1055 camper is tall and a bit top heavy. It didn't ride bad or sway badly, but I thought that this would help for stability. And they do! No sway or roll, however now it seems the truck rides like a washboard over the smallest bumps like it never did before. Is this overkill? Should I readjust the rancho shocks to a lower number? I have them on nine before the Timbrens and did not change the setting. Have any of you experienced this issue? The freeways through Pasadena and Glendale were shear torture for the first time ever! The bouncing and jarring over the smallest bumps in the road has become really annoying. Thanks for any help or insight you can provide.

Yes, adjust the 9000's down, if they are as rigid as you say they are, you could, over time, do damage. Shocks are there to arrest movement, not stop it, might try starting in the middle, drive around town, then readjust and try it again. Let the timbrens do the work.
