Default 2" budget boost shocks

I have a 2" Superlift budget boost and did not buy the Superide shocks and just used the stock shocks. Those of you who installed the new shocks, did it improve the ride over stock? I understand I lost 2" of travel, but I don't know that the ride has changed from stock. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I got the Black Diamond BB with the shocks and really haven't noticed a difference in ride quality. I wanted the extra travel otherwise I would have stuck with the stock shocks.

With the shocks, the ride is much better than stock. IMO.

Jim,
I just ordered my FT 2" with the M-Force shocks. I am hoping it will be here by the weekend but I am not holding my breath. As soon as it is installed, I will let you know how it rides.

Thanks SLY, it will be good to know. Don't really want to spend the cash if it won't help the ride any.

I have the 2 FT with M-force shocks too, and they seem great. No concerns here.
