I ended up putting these shocks front and rear to replace my blown out OEM shocks. Overall I enjoy them, they seem to have cut a little of the harshness out of the stiff suspension my dually has and they allow a touch more travel so the fronts dont bottom out on a leveled truck. I also elected to run the steering stabilizer and I dont think it was neccessary but the piece of mind that the steering wheel wont br yanked out of my hands on rutted roads is quite nice. Overall fit finish and performance has been top notch in my opinion
I’ve run these on three different vehicles now and they perform great. With the factory shocks and a 3500lb camper on my pickup, I’d have sea legs after an hour of driving. With these shocks installed, the bobbing up and down on the highway is gone. They are not too firm when not carrying a load either. Now my dog doesn’t get seasick and vomit all over my truck!
