Default New 03 with 56K rough ride ?

So I found an 03 gx one owner and only 56k Miles on it. Nice truck.
I noticed right away that the rear suspension feels hard and bouncy. When I adjust the height it does work but seems to take a bit. In the Low setting feels like it is on the bump stops. Not sure where to start, sounds like the level sensors can be an issue, so I will have a look at them. Feels like it is just going to the top height to me thus making the ride really stiff. I climbed onto the rear bumper and tried to bounce the truck and it is like a rock. Like the bags are over inflated.

Help me out here guys.

Turn the ride height off and measure the rear on level ground to make sure you're within specs.
