So far I’m very disappointed in my $3000 spend. I was driving in HomeDepot yesterday and they had some speed bumps. I took the first ones very slow, the truck still bounced. The last one ended up going just a bit faster and I swear the truck front end caught air. My speed was less than a slow walk.
Anyway, I think I’ll experiment with the shocks first.

Take the shocks off completely and drive it.
Over a bump if the springs are soft it will bounce, then oscillate and settle-out over a few seconds with a real "floaty" feeling.
If the springs are too stiff, it will probably not feel all that different than it does now. It will give you a hard hit on the bump with almost no "float" afterward.... the way it reacts will quickly isolate if you have a spring issue or a shock issue.
