The best shocks I had with the hotchkis springs were the DoschTechs (sp?). I have tried several other non-adjustables and even now with Rancho singles up front and QA1 singles out back, I can get the ride balanced f/r.

And, Yes, my truck currently rides like poo. I will soon be pulling out the Hotchkis spings all around and doing stock leafs with flip kit and spindle/coilover up front. Likely will use a double adjustable shock front and back.

I had the Belltech springs and shocks at first and it rode pretty choppy. After installing Ridetech coilovers and QA1's it became a whole new truck. I am hoping to add strong arm control arms soon and looking to modify a set of slosh tubs (not made for GMT 800 yet) to allow for a more compression of the front suspension. Eventually I will have the Ridetech four link out back with a coil over.
But with the right stuff they will ride very nice.

putting the stock 16's back on helped my truck ride better.

I thought my truck rode nice until I moved to SoCal.
