Cool what other components do i have to install after 3 inch springs?

I have just installed 3 inch drop coil springs on my 1999 single cab silverado but it seems to bounce like a low rider. I still have my stock shocks is there anything else i would need to change besides the shocks?
----i have attached a picture of my truck

You really should buy new lowering shocks to help.

The only other problem is that the lowering springs have different spring rates than factory that can lead to more bounce.

I put Belltech street performance shocks and it seemed to take a lot of the bounce and harshness away, but a static drop will still have some bounce
