I put them on my 2000 E150 conversion van. Up front were I drive they feel great. But out back they are harsh. Kids complained about the ride so I aired up the rear air bags to 30# and they said it was better. Do notice alot more rattles and squeaks that where never there before. Using it to tow my car and trailer this weekend to Ohio we'll see if they are better with some weight on the. suspension.
Also put a set on my MH. Took some getting use to the handeling because the old shocks were junk. They do ride harsh. Not what I was expecting consider everyone praise them.

Well maybe as I have a 2001 Ram 2500 Camper Package (AKA 3500 SRW) the ride was a bit harsh to start with. This is my DD, but I plan on towing a lot in the future, so my main concern is control, and a not a Cadillac like ride.
I got what I wanted, no wild ride on a rough road, bad dips, and bridge transitions, 1/2 to 3/4 cycle!
