I'd like to try that again. I did it before but then I heard a loud beeping sound, as if air and waterdamp was escaping under high pressure.
I shortened the rod which connects the two systems (the small block with the lifter and the horizontal axle thing which is (indirectly) connected to the shockers

I'm confused...Is the front bouncing or is the rear bouncing? (In the wagon)

If the rear is hard as a rock and won't go down by jumping on the bumper (very bouncy ride), the accumulators have filled with hydraulic fluid and no longer dampen. Or, as in my case, the screws on the arm that transfers weight change movement to the SLS valve came loose at the torsion bar(?) and got stuck in the full up position. The rear end was tight as a drum and it looked like a jacked up Camaro.

If the front end is bouncing up and down you either need new springs and/or new shocks. Neither the Comforts nor the HD's should allow the front to bounce much. When I go over a speed bump, the front comes up on the bump, goes down after the bump, comes up and levels off. Same with the rear-down, up, level.

Hope that helps.
