Bumpy ride. Expy with air susp

I have a 98 Expy with air suspension. I noticed a bumpy ride lately. Air susp seems to be working fine.

Bad shocks? There are different shocks for 2wd,4x4,
4 corner air susp and rear air springs,correct?

The front has the shock built in the air spring correct? Is it common for then to cause bouncy ride? Or is it most likely the rear shock absorbers?

It could be the front or rear shocks, I'm not there to be able to make that determination. You'll have to test them by bouncing the truck up and down.
