So I lowered my car Denali the cheap way and now am unhappy with the ride quality. I used lowering springs and shocks from eibach and changed the torsion keys. So I think im just going to put the old rear springs back and buy new shocks so is there any way I can keep it lowered but return it to the comfort of the stock suspension or should I just return it back to the stock ride height?

Search and develop your own conclusion. I am running Bilstein shocks and Belltech 5305. Some people like Belltech shocks and DJM coils. I did lower a Tahoe 2-3 with Springtech coils decranked the torsion bars and ran Dotech Tech shocks. It was awesome

How low on the rear springs did you go?
Did you use stock keys?
Do you have shock extenders?

To say these trucks are without issue once lowered would be a lie. However with only a 3" drop you should have been fine. I did shock extenders on that Tahoe and it was nice. Plus the springs I used were very cheap eBay garbage. I think there might have been another issue.

what could the problem be then b.c when i looked at the springs they were pretty much fully compressed and it seems like any bump it just bottoms out any ideas?

3/5 djm kit with trailblazer 4 inch rear drop springs will ride killer. Just ask chevy89 here and matt14 they are just a few of my customers that will agree the djm kit i set up with the trailblazer rear springs rides great.
