I just replaced the track bar, put the levelling kit on the truck with the new shocks , and cant tell why it rides "stiff"

Are you compairing your ride now, to the way it was before? or are you just saying its stiff in general? the shimmy sounds like a track bar issue.

I know its not going to ride like a caddy but what ever is causing it is a very uncomfortable highway drive

All you can do is deal with it really.
Not this time, V. The 4wd leveling kit doesn't change the spring rate ... stiffer springs CAN be used to raise the nose but that's not what we're talking about.
