How is the ride quality with this suspension setup? Is noticeably stiffer?

I thought it was noticeably stiffer.When I took it to the shop they had somewhat of a difficult time installing it in but they eventually managed. Overall not too bad for the price.

The difference in the ride is so slight that you will have fogotten about it in the first week of driving.

quite a bit but it is worth it really accents the truck makes it pop really a great add on I recommend it get boots for the shocks they don't come with the kit

I haven't had the chance to try it yet, do to I'm missing parts and still waiting to get them.

I had/have an awful experience with this set-up. Very jarring ride + noise = very disappointed !

It's my sons truck and its a 2010 double cab! Looks great but I don't like the the way it rides! Too stiff

Im real happy to have replave my cheap a $$ Monroe sensatracks with this. Firmer ridde ad in control not harsh. The problem I have now is is they expose the other parts that are no longer up to snuff . Ill be checking my sway arm bushes and tie rods soon but at least now im confident In my shocks. Very good purchase imo. Make sure youll looking at the gasajust ones and dknt forget the steering damper. Good luck &God; speed to ya. 2004 almost stock Loredo i6

I've been pleased with the velocity control on mine. Each person is different, though. What I like might not be your cup-of-tea.

I purchased new factory shocks and factory New Springs, when I used the kit. The kit worked fine. Nice lift of about 3" with all new suspension parts. Had it done professionally.

They are stiffer than stock. I have an 09 tacoma double cab 4x4 with bfgoodrichs kos.

What do you expect? this is a scooter, it doe snot have a suspension. It is the smoothest one Ive tried because it has pneumatic tires. I am 25 year old. I use it to go to work.

We have a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. The old rear shocks were shot, so the back probably sagged a little. After installation the van seems to sit level.We had the front struts and mounts replaced at the same time, since both were worn. If it is slightly higher, it's not noticeable. The ride is firm, but comfortable. They will support a bit heavier load than regular shocks. All in all I'm very pleased with them. I hope this helps!

Yes it is amazing for cruising around on! I just got it today, but it has been a nice ride so far! Very smooth!

Absolutely! A guy at my bike shop said the ride would be stiff but I like the new feel. I also like not worrying as much when I roll through bits of glass!

Joystick initially feels stiff. I was also used to playing with a rumble pack so my controller was heavier. But overall it's decent.

@cheetah2000, it is a great board if you are around 110 or more. Is gunna feel weird at first but definatly loosen trucks before you ride.

I believe them to be stiffer than the OEM shocks. Handling of our Jeep has improved dramatically, and the sense of "control" has returned while driving it, since installing these shocks. My wife has commented that it does ride rougher. I think that's to be expected with any set of unworn shocks.

Yes the ride is smooth. I did have to secure the rubber tips with gorilla glue to keep them in place when pedaling on carpet, but overall there were no problems with the equipment.

Tom, the shocks are shorter than your stock shocks. They fit, but the ride will not have the travel of the original shock. So if a much stiffer and easy to bottom out ride is ok, then this is a solution to lower your ride.

25 is still moderate vibration, after that gets pretty numbing on the hands but with the stock components I already have est. 40 just breaking it in still only on the 4th tank but like i said it isn't comfortable cruzing speed and has had several issues already. Not a reliable mode of transportation but definitely fun to cruz.

You won't feel anything really. There's a difference in mpgs through custom tune and the speedometer calibration. Throttle response is slightly better.

Anytime you drop a inch or two there will be a stiffer ride but with the progressive mono tube, Definitely not stiffer but absolutely better in all riding conditions. Best system out there.
