The springs you have are going to be pretty soft, the best and least expensive way to achieve a better ride only would be to get new shocks. Shocks go bad on a regular basis and would lead to the bouncing around, and if yours are stock, ten years is pretty old. Rancho shocks are decent but they will not ride the best, they are fairly stiff, Bilstiens are very good and even stiffer. My advice would be to go with Tokico Trekmasters, they will give you a better ride on and off road with more stock ride feel.
