I have an 2001 1500, ext cab, RWD and the ride is great. You are welcome to take it for a spin if you want to compare.

Hankooks. I really think it's the shocks, but at 177k miles the rear spring bushings are mighty suspect to me as well. Currently researching best places to get Bilsteins.
There's a lot more of us ugly mf'ers out here than there are of you pretty people!
