Shorty Shocks...Advice....

I bagged my 70 C10 all around and at the advice of a local builder, suggested I replace the shocks with the lowered types for a bagged truck. witch I did. I took my truck for a quick ride to see how it felt. The truck was lowered and the bags filled to about 65 psi in the front and the rear at about 45 psi. I noticed that the rear felt a bit bumpy. Do I need to play with the bags a bit to see where it feels like for a smoother ride? The front feels fine and the truck looks good at that height. Also I noticed that I am some what limited to get the rear higher, because the shocks will only stretch so far. I'm thinking I probably could have used the original shocks and have a bit more travel, up and down with out any ill effects. Looking for a bit more advice on this and what I might be able to do to get a better ride...

Thanks one and all.......
