2000 single cab harsh ride softening suggestions?

I bought my daughter a 2000 S10 LS a couple years ago. Had to put a new engine in it, and she really likes it. BUT, DAAAYUM, I hate the ride of that thing! I feel every bump and dip in the road. Seems like the shocks are doing their job just fine, as it doesn't bounce around.
I know with some weight in the back it would probably be better. She will rarely, if ever have more than 50 pounds back there, and will never tow anything. Is there some way of softening the ride? New springs with a softer rate, new shocks, pulling a spring out of the spring pack, anything? And are there effects of doing these that need to be compensated for, like if I pull a spring, will it need the front lowered or whatever?
She is moving from Texas to PA in May. It doesn't bother her, so maybe I should just let her keep it that way and stop thinking about it, haha.
