Default Front end bounces and rocks back and forth

Driving over dips and hills in the road and the front end bounces. While parked, one good push on the fender and the front end rocks back and forth 3 times before stopping. Replaced front shocks....no help. 04 silverado crew cab. Any suggestions?

the purpose of the shocks is oscillation control...if the front shocks are good; how are the rear shocks?
