Cobra Valley's SHOCK & SPRING Suspension UPGRADE
It sounds like soft old shocks, worn suspension and the 17" in combo are what's loosening your fillings. Check the rear shock mounts, number of bolts, crush sleeves are all as they should be on the back end. Front end I really like and feel a huge difference from their ball joint upgrade.

Don't let him overstuff them or you'll be jammed up against the underneath of your steering wheel with your knees.
I have looked at the shocks and they seem to be a pretty good option for $1000 or so. As far as my rear shock mounts are concerned they were welded to the frame by Oltoff. I bought the cobra valley shock mounts and then discovered mine were welded to the frame when I pulled the rear wheels off. Note taken on over stuffing the seat......I have larger than average legs from years of working out and I would be in the steering wheel rather quickly
