Gas charged shocks are much stiffer than hydraulic. If you noticed your ride getting softer with gas charged shocks it was your imagination.

Obviously most people think the Rough Country has a bad ride. The question I have is this: Right now my truck sags in the rear. If I go with the Tuff Country which has a softer spring will my truck still sag?? I definitely don't want to spend $700+ and have a truck that still sags. Would the Rough Country prevent the sag b/c of the stiffer springs? My truck is almost totally stock so I have no experience with lift kits. Thanks for the help.
My truck has ran both the rough country 4" and 6" lifts. I still have the 6" on there and it rides just fine. You could ask a few members on here who have ridden with me. The 4" rode bad due to bushings being shot and old. Now with my 6" I have a little bit of sag without the zero rate in the rear but you can't beat the ride quality. Maybe a half inch or so. The lift kit you buy is the one you buy and not everyone else. I like going against the grain and buying Rough Country Lifts and Ground Hawgs but it is my truck and my money.

I can tell you my experience with my 4" Rough Country lift. The ride is better than it was with the stock reverse arch front springs. Does it ride like a Cadillac? Heck no.tiger9297 said:
I can say that the ride was much improved when I ditched the cheap Rough Country shocks and installed some Gabriels.
After I installed the lift, the rear of my Burb actually sat higher in the rear. I installed a zero-rate in the front when I did the axle swap to level it all out.

Where were you guys yesterday? Every reply I got yesterday was against the Rough Country and today they are all for it. Thanks for the help. I think I will go with the Rough Country and get some different shocks. Other than the Gabriels which ones would you recommend?
