Rancho quicklift
Alright guys so I am new to the forum but have used the forum on past trucks for info. Long story short I recently purchased a 2004 stx 4x4 that already had the rancho quicklift struts installed and the ride is wayyy too bouncy. I have tried playing with the settings but it's pretty bouncy regardless. I do a good mix of driving, live on a dirt road, hunt and fish regularly, but do a lot of highway driving too. What would be my best option? Fox/king/icon are probably going to be too expensive. If I go with bilstein 5100s what else will i need? I imagine I won't be able to use the coils from the ranchos. Any advice is appreciated

Define bouncy... spongy/mushy or stiff bounce

Check your rear shocks too. My ride was very soft and bouncy before I replaced the original rear shocks. Apparently all of the pressure charge leaked out of them.
I have my ranchos set to 6 and the ride is firm but not stiff

Yeah I have the 9000s in the rear. I'll keep messing with the settings and see. I was also thinking maybe adding a steering stabilizer in the front? The ride isn't unbearable just expected a little bit better.

Shocks concern
I install my rear shocks upside down (RS 999785) is there any difference why maybe is bouncing on the front and the problem only on one spot of the freeway same spot happen every time I hit that spot my everyday route it was bouncing non stop shaking and this morning almost throw off on the other lane.
