yes, ride is much better, truck soaks up the bumps better, no more bottoming out on hard bumps. plus it makes the truck look sooo much better. I highly recommend carli parts. make sure you get a track bar with the starter kit to keep the front end tracking right with increased ride height. I almost wish i went with the performance 2. 0 kit. next project is carli ball joints, dynatrac hubs, and then maybe a carli sway bar.
