How do you get the soft ride back when the shocks in the rear of the car have been replaced?

Right after replacing shocks they are super stiff and the only way to compensate for this is to either wait for them to break in, which can take months or you can add a couple of hundred pounds to the trunk. Bags of potting soil are sold in 50 pound bags and are easy to add or remove as many as you need. When the car begins to ride too soft, remove the bags as needed. I have used this method to give the rear of a truck some weight for a smoother ride so the truck didn't ride like a wagon.
