    OK, harsh ride can be the result of two VERY opposite issues:

    Spring rate (leaf springs plus Sumo springs plus any shock dampening on compression) is too stiff. Little or no spring deflection over bumps.

    Totally opposite: Spring rate (same components) so soft that the suspension bottoms out over bumps.

    Your first job is to determine WHICH is occurring. Only then can you begin to address it.
