I upgraded to Gabriel Strider shocks, best I could afford at the time, and bought Radial T/As to go on the Keystones. Big front and rear sway bars too. So even if my car didn't accelerate like a boss it did corner pretty well.

Pros: cornered pretty well

I just did my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 and put these on the back.

The springs supposedly add about 500 lbs to the leaf springs. After receiving them, I was a little disappointed by the plastic stop at the top of the springs, and the ride is pretty rough empty. Not recommending them (only had them a couple of weeks) but I'm sure there are similar products.

Pros: add 500 lbs
Cons: ride is rough
Vehicle: Dodge RAM

I replaced the six year old KYB Excel-G shocks with Gabriel Max Control. The reviews say they are firm shocks. They are firmer than the KYB when they were new, but not too firm . Perfect for my liking. They really handle speed bumps well and almost completely eliminate sway when driving on mountain roads. Also, the truck stays level when coming to a stop. No nosedive.

Pros: firmer, eliminates sway, no nosedive
Vehicle: Ford Ranger

Bilsteins are probably best, unless you want to cough up a lot for fox. I have Gabriel premium right now. Pretty good, but not as good as Bilsteins.

Pros: pretty good
Cons: not as good
