I just put the HD shocks on mine (comfort for the fronts were on backorder til October). The ride is definitely firmer and tolerable, but I wish I had the comforts to compare against.

Whatever you do, don't pay that price.

I Put HD's on mine. with stock wheels and tires they are fine. now I have 20" wheels and everything is heavier. I'm wishing the shocks where a little firmer. it just feels a little sloppy when hitting bumps going 30-50+. I have one bridge I cross everyday, the seams in the bridge are raised a little and I can feel the wheels jumping off the ground. with the stock wheel set up the bilsteins fixed that. so keep in mind that the shock valving is HD for your stock set up. Not so HD if you have bigger/heavier wheels. I May go adjustable.. Also, you can find them for $60/65 Each.. again, Like Snake Said, Do Not pay that Price!!!
