Maybe the front shock needs to be more heavy duty? Ther rear shock that was installed before was Kyb gas adjust stock shock for rear. It was a really bouncy bumpy ride.

I'm not a fan of the KYB Gas-A-Just line of shocks because the ones I've messed with (on C10's & G-body Malibus )were way to stiff/harsh. RCD (Race Car Dynamics) used to offer re-valved Bilsteins but I just chacked their site & they don't list info/dimensions like they used to.
Now that you know your ride height shock dimension, I would add/subtract 3-3.5" from that dimension for your searches. So look for these approximate dimensions:
8" fully compressed
11.5 ride height (mid point)
15" fully extended
Ride tech has some NICE shocks (HQ Series) that are adjustable for rebound so you could dial them in to suit your exact needs. They have a killer warranty but are expensive vs. off the shelf/non-adjustable shocks.
