    Oh my, I can relate. There must a couple of dozen threads on just this point.
    Two of my OEM shocks were blown, when I replaced them with the Rancho 9 way adjustable ones....improved ride some. If I put them on the softest setting, I actually get some floaty action going, like an old 60s or 70s land yacht....but still SLAMMIN' the rear when on rough gravel/dirt.....until I cut my rear bump stops in half. Made a huge improvement, much less slamming/jarring on rocky/dirt roads. Still a rough rider, no way around that. Short wheel base has a lot to do with that. But at least this helped it tremendously.

    Start with this recent thread to read about it:

    btw...are you the one that bought the S/C Ebony from Richard??
