you ever see a car drive straight down the road but it's sitting sideways? That's the result of frame damage or an alignment where two wheels on an axle pull one way while the others pull the other way. Improper alignment may result in the car going straight fine, but being lazy turning one way, and fast another way. If the bump comes at you anything other than head on, chances are the wheels will start to pull in opposing directions at different times and with varying forces. - That's why alignment *could* affect what you're feeling.
The other thing to consider is type of coil. My car sitting on Bilstein monotube coils with about 400lb springs rides like a stiff brick compared to my racecar on kwv3 with 14k front and 10k rear springs on slicks. BC are not exactly known for having the most comfy coil out there, and each person's expectations are usually different. If your ride height is close to bottoming out the coil or only one of them is at a lower than expected height, you can be left with odd bump characteristics that ruin the ride entirely. Combine being too low with a super stiff monotube damper and it likely won't be comfortable, even on the smoothest of racetracks.
