Rear suspension.

[ray]

I have replaced the rear coils as well as the rear shocks but it still feels very rough and there's no bounce per say. What else do I need to do or what Am I doing wrong?

Only thing I can think of is tires overinflated. Coils and shocks are the only parts that make the ride smooth or rough. Just a thought.

I'm thinking of trying a different brand of shocks since they have "lifetime warranty". Tires are inflated at 32lbs.

Does anyone else have other suggestions?

Can you describe in more detail the "rough" part? You mentioned rear suspension-is that the only suspension work you've done? Is the problem concentrated in the rear of the vehicle?

What kind of shocks did you install, Ray? It could be those, causing the ride issues. I had the shocks on my former Ford Aerostar replaced, years ago, and the result was as if the new shocks were just steel bars: stiff!

I now have Monroe Sensatracs on my '02 Sienna, which the guy at Monroe gave me for free, after feeling guilty for giving a high estimate on welding in an O2-sensor bung (long story). Anyhow, these shocks have felt okay, and you can probably buy and install them yourself, pretty cheap.

On a side note, shouldn't the tires be 35psi?

I have Gabriels from Autozone and there's no bounce just very stiff. The front is fine but the rear is like if I had no shocks whatsoever.

Has anyone used other brands? I don't like the Gabriels.

Are the Gabrials a gas filled shock?

I don't think so the link is below.
