How was it lowered in front and back? I would not use air shocks.

Springs up front. Shackles in back. Did springs cause spindles n 10" 15s rub a arm all over.

It rides stiff because of the springs and I am assuming you are saying over bumps it doesn't ride over it softly.  Shocks only control the bounce...

I'm sure it is the springs.  It isn't to bad. But seems to ride nicer going slower.  But maybe the front shocks r bottoming out. No bumpstops hitting at all.
