Better than worn out old shocks...I put a pair of those on my explorer where the stock shocks had 165k on em. The stock shocks actually pretty much fell apart when i removed them

currently i have the prerunners on the front and bilstein heavy duty's in the rear and they are very equal as far as ride quality front to rear with no load in the truck... meaning if i nail a bump i get the same bone jarring jolt in the front and then the rear follows, and the bump stops in my opinion are awesome i (accidentally) launched my truck incredibly hard while flyin down an unfamiliar road and hit a 2 foot deep, 3 foot wide trench doin around 40 ish and absolutely slammed my truck down then straight up.. i think those stops save the shocks they actually twisted that upper washer pretty good, the bils are shot now and i just today got my mv-12's from the rear that i think will even the ride out a little better, but they sent me the wrong bushings with the shocks (totally bummed) so if you do order from doetsch tech directly be sure to tell them you need bigger bushings in the rear.. sorry about my long story... just my two cents

My mv12's came with two sets of bushings. Who did you order them from?

I had ordered mine through downey and they hooked me up with the proper energy suspension bushings. You might be able to pick them up at your local auto parts store.
