Good morning bm72
Thank you for the kind words....
Trucks are trucks put a rough ride stinks.(but your springs are ROUGH Country's hahaha) I contacted bilstien directly as they make shocks with different valving. These are fixed nitrogen charge shocks that can be converted to be adjustable or you can step up a level and get them from bilstien that can be charged to your liking but $$$$.
This might help but I would call them as they helped me when I was making my decision. Of course I haven’t driven the truck so I really don’t know how they work or feel.

I have the Bilstein B8 5165’s they are valved the same way at all four corners 700 compression and 2550 recoil. They are however a custom length as the ones for our trucks were too long for my application since I have all the custom mods. I have Tuff Country Softrides springs up front and stock k20 springs with ORD shackle flip kit in the rear with the overload and 1 spring removed. Like I said earlier I have not driven the truck yet so I am not sure how they will work together.
Let me know what you end up with and I hope I was of some help.
