New french guy from Canada

Hey Guys,
I am new to this forum..so here we go... I have a Nissan Pathfinder SE 2006 4X4 and just installed the AC Deluxe Suspension Package (https://www.4x4parts.com/nissan/deluxe- ... -5843.html)
I searched this site a lot in regard to 2 inches lift and decided to go with this package. I got it installed by a Nissan Canada dealership and they also did the alignment. However, they sugest that I find an other place that do lifted truck so they can make more adjustment to the back. Aparently the alignment is in the red and one of the bolt (camber I gesss, I'll will probably have to buy the camber kit) was seased so they did what they could. They did not have spare bolts. I still have no name passenger tires that came with the truck and they are 265/70/16.
So far, my impression on the new kit is that it feel like I am driving a boat... there is so much body roll that it is scary... I am sure my no name tires doesn't help (at 35 psi should be ok) and it feel like I have no shock at the back but only springs. If I go strait, there is no issue, I can let go of the steering and it will keep going strait. However if I get some road bumps, the back of the truck will bounce sideway...The front is ajusted a the highest level so I could get 2 inches at the front like at the back. I guess since the shocks are new they will adjust eventually but am I the only one that experienced this? I wanted to get the new tires and alignement before posting but was just wondering if anyone had troubles with this kit so far.
I have an appointment tomorrow (not a Nissan dealership) to get Goodyear dura track 265/75/16 and a new alignment. Hopefully they will be able to fix this...
