One of the main things I dislike about CPP products are the limited info they provide to the end-user.
The choppy ride can be caused by the springs rate which they don't publish anywhere so it's hard to know if you have the right spring. It's great that it's the height you desired but if it's not an optimum spring rate the ride quality suffers. Who cares about that as long as it looks good..... Right?
Your tires have a decent amount of sidewall @ almost 6" so we can effectively rule any 'rubber-band tire' theory out.
I'm curious as well about the shocks dimensions & the frame brackets you mentioned:

What was done that required cutting the old shock brackets off & welding them back on?
Does the truck still have factory bump-stops or aftermarket units? How much clearance?
How much clearance to the first point of contact in the rear (what would make contact w/the rear end first when compressed)?
Get some measurements for the rear:
Distance between the upper & lower shock mounting holes @ ride height.
Shocks extended length.
Shocks compressed length.
Shock length @ ride height.
Any pics that can be provided of the rear set-up can help ID or eliminate possibilities as well.
