Default Bouncy front end after lift

I lifted my front end with new torsion keys. It is pretty bouncy now. I still have the gas charged shocks on it. Will I benifit from going with an oil filled shock like Rancho? What does everybody else use? I like the lift, just don't like the bouncy ride.

Can anybody give me there input?

Thanks ,Bill

Interesting. My lift made my ride very stiff. It's much nicer through corners, and doesn't gently roll on the highway. I hear the Ranchos like to pop though..

I'm not sure why, I figured it would be stiffer too. I'm sure the 33s don't help it much, but it still shouldn't be this bad.
