I supposed it depends on what you want. IMO, a stock rig works well with OEM parts. I figure that they engineered all that out. My current truck (Ram 3500 dually) currently has Bilsteins on it simply because the PO put them on it. When they go out I’m not sure what I’ll replace them with. Bilsteins and KYB are definitely stiffer (some say firmer, so say harsher) than stock. If a person is happy with the ride, stick with stock/Monroes. If they prefer a little firmer, I’d so go with Bilsteins. KYBs are firmer than stock, but some say that they feel harsher than Bilsteins, something to do with the valving on them.

But having said all that, I think that when my current set up needs replacing, I’ll probably give stock ones a try - maybe then the truck won’t ride so stiff/harsh when not pulling/hauling with it.
