Lowered anything does not ride well. The more money you spend on the kit the better it will ride. However it will still be rough

OEM coil springs are designed for progressive tension as the spring compresses. When your springs were cut, you lost alot of springs ability to flex.

Check to make sure the slip yoke on the driveshaft isn't bottomed out on the tail housing of the trans. The driveshaft is at a downward angle. As the truck gets lowered (axle raised), the distance between front and rear yokes is lessened, and the slip yoke will slide forward (if it has clearance to). If your yoke was already close before getting lowered, it could be binding against the trans now.
EDIT: Crap, just noticed this is an 8 month old thread revival.
