I just got these on a few months ago thinking they'd stiffen up my ride...well they did a little but still even on big bumps it rides like a cadillac in the front, all bouncing up and down.

Let me know if anyone feels the same.

WAY TOO SOFT. get some toxics for a stiffer ride. I mean lets be honest, the lower you are to the ground the stiffer your suspension needs to be.

Doestech sorta ride like a cadillac if you like that kind of ride but I don't like my suspension that spongy. I'm currently bagged and I like to ride prettly low to the ground and with the doestech shocks on, I was bouncing off the pavement everytime I looked around. The toxic's are a more cruder shock than the doestech which makes them ride rougher which means less bottoming out, but you jiggle in the truck more. The best shocks I have ever seen are koni's there is no match for them but they don't make dropped shocks for our truck. I have some of them on a honda with coilovers and their shocks damping is adjustable and I can set my coilovers so the car sits about 2 inches off the ground and I can do like 60 on an old ass country road and hardly ever bottom out.
