Default bounce, bounce, bounce

ok so i lowered my xb to 2.50" front and 2.25" rear and i cant hardly keep it in the road. we have an old draw bridge in town that i hit going 40 m.p.h. and thought it was gonna send me into the river. the front end was bouncing me all over the road. so my question is have i maxed out my drop and need to raise it up a little or is this something that may be solved when i get my new tires and wheels? my wheels are 17x7 thinking of running 205/40/17 or 215/40/17.

Not sure if he should/ shouldn't cut the bump stops. Unless the instructions say specifically to cut it (by a documented lenght) ofcourse. Those small side wall tires may also be the cause.

What are you running for lowering springs? Please tell me you didn't cut, or use ebay brand springs!!!

i am using the groundcontrol c/o. ride comfort was wonderful b/f the 2.5/2.25 drop but since has been a little scarey. my question is will the smaller sidewall help with the bounce of the ride or do i need to raise back up until i get shocks/struts?
