i run 30pis in mine and my hitch height is like 20in tall
 
Ditch the bags and run solid stops. The reason for the bounce was that there was no weight on the springs and they were not holding the axle in one place. A set of traction bars and solid suspension stops will help greatly. Good luck and have fun!
 
Who Sells The Solid Stops Reasonable ? Something That Bolts In Place Of The Rubber Snubber ?
 
they are pretty easy to fabricate yourself, you can be pretty creative with it. I'm sure you could do a search on here and see what people have done, and if you can't find any ideas, pm me and I'll send you pics of mine. I run bags and stops because in my class out here in cali I'm required to have 1" of rear suspension travel, so I run MAX psi in the bags and adjust the stops for the inch of travel.
