Default question about doetsch shocks?

i already did a search and read a bunch of old posts 1-2yrs old. does anyone still run these shocks, are you happy with the ride? i just did a 3/4 drop on my 06 rcsb, i using stock shocks up front and belltech nitro's in the rear for now. its a little bouncy on some roads. i know i need 4 good matched shocks for a good ride and handling, just wondering if these are a good shock for daily driving a good ride. or any other sugestions? thanks for the help.......

Ian

I have them on my ecsb and from what i can tell they give a better ride for large bumps but get a little rough on small bumps if there are alot of em.
Also the rear will be very stiff from them so figure in a bit more bounce from the rear because of this.
Also if you plan to get into performance mods and end up needing some traction these shocks are way to stiff to allow really good weight transfer as they are some stiff sonsofbitches.
