The only people that could give you an absolute answer would be someone that has the exact truck with the same suspension (springs, etc) as you have with the same TC. If you read this thread carefully, you will read different shocks give a stiffer ride. How do we measure "stiffer" ride? I believe it comes down to a seat of the pants. Typically, with stiff shocks you feel the cement joints and road holes and such as a definite bump. Soft shocks typically has more of a soft bump, if any at all. When you hit a dip with the front axle, the front of your truck will dip down, then back up. It typically will go up and down a couple of times. The softer the shock, the quicker and more times it will go up and down.

As with most things, it is a matter of personal preference. In this case a soft or stiff riding truck. If you installed a new set of shocks and they were stiff you would probability notice a big difference in the form of a stiff ride. If you are comfortable with the ride of your truck now, I would not change the shocks.
