Hey Y'all I have an 04 hoe with a 2/3 Belltech drop w/keys, shocks are Dropshock 2's
Lately under hard acceleration the truck rocks back and forth hard core and doesn't stop till i let off, mostly getting on the highway. serious safety issue i think.
I'm thinking my shocks have bit the big one and are causing it to rock but maybe I need to do something else to the suspension to stiffen it up so it performs like it should.

Any suggestions or tips would be awesome!
thanks in advance..

If it started all of the sudden have you checked the sway bar bushings?

Here's my old Esky and it's suspension setup. It drove like it was on rails...

suspension mods are listed including sway bars and shocks

Bilstines 5100's. Lose the T bar drop and get the 2" drop knuckles / spindles, Also do the sway bars, I had the same drop as you and same shocks and that is what I did I also added ready lift helper bags to rear springs. Of. They make a drop bracket for the Nivo max shocks Mine rod like a dream with those for years till they died. I've had my 01 for going on 14 years now.
