What tire pressure you running right now? You should be at around 30 psi for daily driving, not more than 32. This will affect your bounciness. Also the alignment needs to be done first and foremost. There are a few basics that you should always address BEFORE you start pulling your suspension apart again.

1. Modify suspension = new alignment
2. check to ensure every bolt is tight and each part is mounted properly.
3. Make a list of the things you've modified from their designed spec (spring compression, tire pressure, wheel fitments, any suspension arm alteration)

Little story...for example on #2, I had an alignment done for a new control arm and tie rods, and the fucking shop didn't tighten one of my camber bolts in the front!! My front end was all over the road and I couldn't figure it out! then one day I was doing my brakes and I leaned on the strut and it moved! Whoa...I went back there and chewed them new a-holes.

Start with that and then see where you're at with the ride.
