I had a 6" skyjacker lift when i first lifted my truck.. i was running bilsteins shocks.. it was an extremely rough ride... its due to there springs, they are stiff as hell... since ive had Superlift and ATLAS springs on my truck, and both rode MUCH better then the skyjackers... the Donhoe shocks are as good as any, or better... but there not going to make your skyjacker springs an less harsh....

From: So. CAL
sdpj,
I just recently had a 6" skyjacker all spring lift done to my 04' F250 4x4 PSD Crewcab longbed.
I went with Rancho RS9000 single shocks all the way around. Driving the Highways, and streets in So. CA I am actually surprised how well it rides. Although the ride in not as plush as the stock it has more travel and it handles the bumps and dips much nicer than the stock. I guess it depends on what kind of terrain you are driving on. I havn't had it off road yet. Good luck, hope you find a solution.
