Bumpy Ride

I've noticed a bumpier ride in my truck in the last week or so. I thought it might have been a busted shock or something, but a visual check hasn't really shown anything. I feels like something suspension-wise. I'm just not sure what to look for. I know its hard to explain in writing, but the truck just doesn't take bumps like it used too. What should i bee looking for here? Could this be something small that I am overlooking?

Hey beav you finally got back.

Try Bouncing the truck when it is still by standing on the bumper and let go,see how many bounce movements it takes to stop.

Bumpy Ride

I found the problem with my truck bouncing. Turned out to be a busted shock, drivers side front. I figure I'll just replace all four shocks while I'm at it. Anyone have any recommendations for a '77 F-250 4X4? I'm looking for something good quality so that they last. I looked into a Rancho 3" lift kit, but it was $918. I can't afford that right now.
