Default 01 Silverado rides hard

I recently purchased a Silverado z71 1500 extra cab 4x4. The stock wheels were crappy so I scored a set ofGMC 22” off a newer model. I’ve had Chevy trucks before, but this one is stiff. Is it the new wheels? I didn’t notice the hard ride before, but then it was only a matter of a couple days before i updated. Am I maxing the shocks. They could be replaced, but I need advice on how to recover the smooth ride I’ve come to expect. Longer shocks? Advice welcome

torsion bars turned up to high will ride rough due to limited suspension travel before the arm hits the stops.
