Incorrect LCA install question

I've been chasing down a front end gremlin with my 2002 AC for a few years now. Had the LCA's replaced 3 years ago due to shot bushings. Truck was riding somewhat rough at the time, and when I got it back it still rode rough, but different. Incredibly stiff and almost bouncy in the front, and if an individual front tire hits a pothole the whole truck shakes/shudders fairly bad. Almost feels like the truck stays high in it's travel all the time and rolls a bit in turns, which it shouldn't with front/rear sway bars and fresh bushings/links. Had the shocks replaced at the same time, and thought maybe the KYB gas-adjust shocks were just a stiff SOB. But all my research indicates they should be softer than the 20 year old 4600's they replaced. So after years of brainstorming, I'm wondering if Les Schwab torqued my LCA cam bolts incorrectly during install, with the LCA's down while the truck was on a lift? Seems like the symptoms would match, like my rubber bushings are already at their travel limit with the weight of the truck on the control arms, so the shock/spring aren't damping impacts much because the control arm *really* doesn't want to travel any closer to the frame.

I know this is rambling, but I've felt like a conspiracy theorist the last few years with this ride issue. Damn near the entire front end is less than 3 years old, except the UCA's.

Any input appreciated, thanks for reading .

 

Im not a FGT expert, but I’m sure others will chime in. Typically with trucks, the cams should be torqued with weight on the wheels. If that’s accurate for your truck, you can check the scenario you’re describing by loosening them (a bit, not so much the cams move, just mark them and move back if that happens) and torque to spec with weight on the wheels.
