I've driven those Colorado highways many time and have had some luck in upgrading my truck. 1st) I removed my un-leveling kit that made a huge difference in reducing bounce, don't add a leveling kit, it really increases the bounce 2) lowered my f/r tire pressure to 65 when unloaded. 3) have a camper shell adding weight to the rear, 4) added sulastic shackles to my rear leafs (huge difference), 5) replaced factory dampers with bilstien. 6) switched tires. Now the truck rides better unloaded than loaded. rides great on concrete freeways no problems in the houston area which are all concrete practically and Colorado. In fact it rides so much better, that I find myself driving at 80+ on concrete roads as they barely disturb the truck. Which is a 3500 megacab as well. The biggest changes were adding the sulastic shackles, ditching the leveling kit, and lowering air pressure in that order. The shocks made the least difference. I'd suspect reducing unsprung weight would help, more advanced shocks that are frequency selective damping instead of singe valved, getting rid of solid axles....
