Yes, 40 series tires do give you a stiff ride (but great handling).
I run 225/45/17 and 255/40/17 so your setup isn't too far off from mine.
The ride height is quite low (assuming you took those measurements from the rear), but that only effects how often you scrape, not how harsh the ride is.
My guess is the Bilsteins you have in there are the sport models (green) not the softer yellow ones.
Torsion bars are likely stiffer than stock too.
How exactly does it handle like cr*p? Is it just how stiff it rides that bothers you? That is a side effect of GOOD handling. Perhaps he has it setup to handle better than you would want. If that's the case, you can convert it back to smaller torsion bars and softer shocks (there will be many ppl on this list willing to trade their stockers plus cash for yours).
Also try raising the height a little. At that height, even with rack spacers it's likely to have some bump steer.
