Yeah I figured that might have something to do with it, they are 1" coil spacers.

Put about 1,000 pounds in the bed, that should smooth it out a bit. 
My truck rides way smoother when it's loaded down or towing.
In all seriousness though, When you take a speedbump, do you feel it worse in the front or the back? That should narrow down your problem.

I'd rather deal with a rough ride than bad gas mileage LOL. Usually when I take a speedbump it seems worse in the front.

I agree, those front coil spacers are most likely your problem then. My truck's suspension is much stiffer in the back. I can take speed bumps fairly well on the front wheels, but I have to ease the back wheels over them, or else get a jarring jolt to the my back. Unless the back is loaded up with a lot of weight, then speed bumps are much less of a problem. Albiet my truck has much stiffer back springs then yours. But with any truck, the back should be stiffer (when unloaded) as it's designed to hold a lot of extra weight.
