You might want to try asking this question in the suspension forum. What did you set the pre-load at? Can you adjust the spring rate?

When you say full coilovers, you mean w/ the struts? Or you have the coilover spring w/ perch and separate struts... are you running bump stops?

mines rides like that but not that hard! i have the same ones. like on ramps mines will hit hard but not so hard like a car with dead shocks going 60 onto a bumpy ramp! just not as smooth as stock but rides smooth over all besides that.

My PICs are fine till I hit a bump, it's because of the spring rates.

Your Skunk2's should have adjustable damping.
