Ahh i've been waiting for someone to ask that. Hhaha...cuz i had the same experience. I asked tallquad and he had the same thing. It's the little space left between the upper a-arm bumpstop and the coil frame housing. if you look at ur upper a-arm where the bump stop is (that piece of rubber bolted on), you will see that there's like 1 inch space. So if you hit a dip or hole, you only got one inch of downward articulation. Down flex. It's pretty normal for the fabtech lift and u'd get used to it after a while. it's harmless. You can't really adjust that either. And yeah the stiff ride is from the 3 inch bigger coils. They will settle within a few months. Mine ain't stiff that much anymore.
