I've used the Roadmaster Active Suspension on a GMC 2500 and it improved both empty and loaded ride. Only thing I didn't like was that it raises the rear end when unloaded.
They are a quality product and I wouldn't hesitate to run them in the future if I felt they fit my needs.

Finally...a useful answer! I've often thought about getting the RAS for my rig, but once I sorted out my Equal-i-zer WD/sway control hitch, all was well. If I was in the OP's situation, I'd seriously consider Roadmaster products.

Much appreciated. Exactly the type of answer I was hoping for. Even if it had been: "They are junk, run away", a direct answer is MUCH appreciated.
I had the non-FX4 shocks and they failed to make it past 5,000 miles. The passenger rear was leaking fluid. I replaced all four with the Rancho 9000XL series. It was a good upgrade.
When on washboard roads, try shifting to 4Hi. This "fix" was suggested to me when I owned a half ton truck. It worked for that truck and it works for my F-350 also. Huge difference? No, but it's enough that I can tell the difference.

Whenever I am on washboard or gravel roads, I'm always in 4H and going slow. Especially in our MT 'neighborhood' since there are a lot of hills, dips, curves going the roughly 4 miles each way. Speed limit is 25MPH and since our annual dues go mostly toward maintaining the roads, residents want to conserve funds. FedEx, UPS and DHL however, seem to view it as just a dusty interstate.
