lol no you need to hook them. When was the last time your shocks were replaced or better yet how old are your shocks? It might be time for new ones. Were you having this problem before?

Yeah there hooked up lol... I haven' t changed them idk if the past owner changed them. I been having this expedition for 2 years now and they look stock, so i guess they haven't been replaced.. No after i put the coil spacer yesterday i feels bouncy when i go over a bump or even sometimes when im a about to brake.. i dp remembered since it was my first time doing the coil spacer installation the truck fell two times cause i lower the axle all the way down without putting jacks on the rear body frame lol

Remember, that truck's suspension has operated in the same range for 12 years, and now you have changed the range of movement of that entire suspension by a very significant bit. You are going to expose any weak or worn bushings, linkages, etc.

You may want to have someone bounce the truck up and down while you watch what happens to the shock travel. They could be topping out, meaning you need longer shocks. At very least, you should replace them.
