I guess I'm getting older and more picky? I love that it flat-ass handles but good grief, my teeth and back hurt after a 2 hour drive.

2013 front and rear struts
Pedders coils front and rear
Pedders ZL1 32mm sway bar front
Pedders ZL1 rear sway bar
Pedders end links
ZL1 control arms
275/35/20 front and 305/35/20 rear

I'm about to move down to an 18" or raise the car back up a little. Any ideas?

Did you have the suspension bushings timed?

Yep! Pete and his guys did the install

If your sway bars are adjustable, you could try fronr and rear at the softest setting. Should make it more tollerant to bumps while still retaining good control. JMHO

Coil overs with a soft setting

by 2013 struts do you mean 1LE struts? 2010 SS struts are the same as 2013 SS Struts.
