Subject:Suspension differences and ride quality-early VS late model vans

Hi all- I have recently aquired a 90 Vanagon- auto trans and all.
 I love it, but man this thing is a rough ride!!! I can feel every crack, expansion joint and paint line on the road!!!
Up to this point, all the Vans I have owned were pre 85- the taller versions.
These always rode nicely.
This 90 is much shorter- does this affect the ride???
Or could I have shock issues?
 The shocks look fairly new- no markings on them,with red bodies.
Could these be the dreaded Bilsteins???
What is the lists overall opinion on year vs ride and soft riding shocks???
TIA
Brian
