Just got a 2014 1500 4x4, not a z71. The previous owner had a leveling kit on it. The ride seems really bouncy. Is this normal? Anything I should check. Thanks in advance everyone.

You preloaded your front suspension with the leveling and took away some of the suspension travel. It the suspension can't travel, the front of the truck will. I leveled a truck once, never again. Install an honest lift kit and have your ride back and less wear and tear on your front end.

How can this be fixed without a full blown lift? Or can it? Maybe new shocks?

Shocks would be the first thing to check.

Getting adjustable shocks is a good idea. Also, on what pressure do you run your tires? Having the right psi can give you a solid ride.
