Front end bounce

I have a 2013 Ford F250 short bed 4x4 6.7 diesel and I tried looking around to see if i could find something close to my problem but couldn't find anything close to my truck's year. Driving at highway speed the front end begins to bounce just enough for me to feel it. It usually lasts around 2-3 seconds then stops and starts again a little further up the highway again. No big bounces that take the steering wheel away just small noticeable ones. I have a 2 inch leveling block in the front and a extra leaf spring in the back to even the truck out with the front. I still have the factory shocks and they are the crappy ones because this truck does not have the FX4

Even the "FX4" shocks are the crappy ones. I'd start with a good set of shocks.

I've been thinking of buying bilstein shocks recently too so I guess I'll find out
