Suspension too stiff? Or?

I have replaced the front spring on my 2005 v-10 4x4 with the v code springs (maybe the wrong ones?). Have installed the RAS on the rear to keep the tail from sagging and have Rancho 9000s and a Rancho 5000 steering stabilizer.

Have also lowered the front pressure to 45lb and rear to 55 on the BFG tires. The front sway bar links have been replaced.

My truck now bounces up and down after hitting even minor bumps. I have set the shocks on every setting, and can make a small improvement before I get to no shock absorbsion at all, at which time the bouncing is almost non-existent.

I have had the front end checked out and the mechanic says everything is fine. I am now going to get the tires re-balanced.

Aside from alignment, is it possible the springs in front are too stiff? Or is this conglomeration of parts incorrect?

Sorry for the length of the message here. Any help is appreciated
