I think it’s likely it’s the shocks or the overloads aren’t engaged or a combination. Make sure they are really on 9. I don’t think the Rancho warranties are transferrable. If not, buy some shocks, or simply take one end off each one and see if they are dead or not. They should be very very hard to move on 9. Good shocks can make a big difference. I ran Ranchos on my SRW and use Bilsteins on my F450.
If you’ve run the truck without the TC and it’s not completely bone jarring, the Ranchos are likely worn out.
Btw, you didn’t say if your overloads are engaged or not. It really does make a big difference. You can buy Energy Suspension bump stops for around 65 a pr. They are easy to bolt on. They come with a nut although you might want to add a washer at the top of the bump stop hanger. I ran them on my SRW and also run them on my F450 with air bags.
