Is there a smooth ride?
i have done some research into Donahoe Racing's signature series shocks. I am about to buy some, so I am asking for your opinion about them. I have a 4" lift on a 2001 V10 long bed supercab truck with 35's. when i'm on the concrete freeways i just bounce along. I would like to hear from guys or gals who have these shocks installed.

Ride quality is a function of many elements, only one of which is the shocks. Springs, bushings, tire compound (hardness of the rubber) and tire inflation all factor into the equation as well. Donahoe shocks may be designed to provide a smooth ride, but installed with HD springs, polyurethane bushings and over-inflated tires... and the shocks become virtually personna non grata in the ride quality equation.
What 4" lift kit do you have? Do you happen to know what the spring rating is? What tires and air pressure are you running? This will help us help you...
Best,
Daryl
