Disconnect the shocks and go for a ride. If the ride improves then it's your shocks, if not it's your springs assuming nothing is binding up in the suspension.

Not sure if you know, but “these are short wheel base trucks. You should expect some bounce and stuff ride”.
Thanks for the laugh.
Actually I have tried disconnecting the shocks and driving. Made it more bouncy, didn’t change the stiffness. Front end just bounced like a ball. Shocks cut down in most of that type of bouncing.
