Superlift or trailmaster?

Okay, sorry another shock question, I have narrowed my choices to 2:

Trailmaster SSV
Superlift

Both are supposed to be very soft riding, which is what I am after, I am firm on these last 2 choices, anyone have anything to say, good or bad about either or both of these 2 shocks?

I enjoy sampling peoples experience and opinions before buying something for my truck, so fire away, if you were me what would be your preference between THESE TWO and why?

Thanks

I have a superlift kit w/ their shocks and they seem ok. The ride is what you would expect in a lifted truck. I have heard the SSV is supposed to be the best shock for a street driven truck but I just don't remember why the store told me that.

I hated the superlift shocks I had...I think soft shocks make a lousy ride on a truck. Get some skyjacker nitro's or blisteins.

I have the SSV and the are fine . They are not "soft".
I had monroe sesa-tracs on it before I had a 4"lift installed,and while the ride is a bit different, it is not bad at all You will like the SSVs
