Shocks

After installing a Daystar 2 1/2 inch leveling kit and 305/70/17 Wrangler MT/R's, it seems like I get more bounce/float when i hit a dip in the road. Is this due to the added weight of the bigger tires? Should I consider a heavier duty shock? If so any suggested make?
Thanks for any response.

bounce float ... is part of the reason I got new shocks ... the fronts I felt were ok but the rears were mushy ... by lifting the front more weight transfers to the rear ... more mush feel...

There are several options for shocks ... I'd usually pick Edlebrocks.

I will check out both the Edlebrocks and the Bilsteins. I do have a gallery of my truck it titiled "GREEN". I did have to do a small amount of trimming at the back of the front fender well and the corner of the factory running boards.
