Bucket, the BDS are stiff compared to skyjacker “soft ride” that my buddy has. I would not say they are horrible but i wouldn’t consider them like factory. A buddy had a BDS for his wrangler that was a daily driver and it was not a bad ride and better than my K20. Don’t know if being a 6” lift makes it stiffer than the smaller lifts. I went with BDS, cause of the no questions asked lifetime warranty.

Maybe it's the difference between the 4" and 6" springs. They definitely ride like stock, because I put a lot of miles on the truck when it was bone stock too. I've had several different brands of 4" springs and had significant seat time in others. Pro Comp and Rough Country were by far the roughest, with old Rancho maybe topping those. Superlift and Skyjacker have been softer, but not as soft as the BDS.
