OK, going to go off the deep end here just a bit.
The Montana, rear shocks are the auto level shocks. There was only one option for replacements: softy mcsoft. The fronts are significantly stiffer, so when you go over a decent bump the rear feels like it's bouncing while the front end does not. The next part of the rear end suspension is that I need to get a bump stop in there that will prevent the rear wheels from encroaching into the rolled fenders. Of course, the factory bump stops are garbage to begin with and completely gone anyway (I found the remnants of one of them on the ground in the hole it sat for 10 years in, only just now put it together that's what it was).
Is there something I can put in the coil spring that would effectively act as additional damping as well as a bump stop? I don't want to give up the level control. I thought about doubling up the rear shocks with a random/universal monotube, since that angle they are on is crappy to begin with, but there's not a lot of room for that and the angles mean any integrated bump stop is going to probably bend metal things on the body. Bump stops are the easy part, I'd weld something on to the axle beam and unibody for that, it's the shock that I'm not sure how to handle.
