Shortly after I got the truck, I swapped out all the shocks with Monroe Gas Magnums.
Granted it was much better, but the front end still does way too many rebounds after RR tracks or the likes.
The rear end is fine.
This is a Big 10 with heavy suspension. All original. No lower or lift kit. I want to keep stock stance.

I would like to get shocks I can adjust the compress and rebound.
Is there anybody that has had a similiar situation?
What did you do to tame the front end down.

Thanks in advance.

The rears on these are so much stiffer than the front you may want to run a regular shock in rear and a HD shock in the front to balance out how the different ends respond to the road. New or stock front springs? if the front springs are original to the truck they may be warn and not as stiff as they should be. The Big Ten package is just heavier rears I believe, I think the front springs are the same ones used for non Big Tens with same engine size. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's how they were setup.
