SAS isn't going to ride like IFS, ever.
You won't get any better than Bilsteins.
Shocks setup wrong, too long or too short, ride poorly.

I've been pretty happy with the Rancho 9000XL shocks I am now running. They have both a regular and remote reservoir version of the shock, they use high pressure nitrogen and are still adjustable. With the in-cab controls, you can dial in the ride from really soft to fairly firm. Aside from the controls, they are nothing like the older 9000s, it is a night and day difference.



Or you could try one of the tunable/rebuildable shocks and get the compression/rebound damping dialed in for your specific vehicle.

I run the Rancho 9000XL shocks but without the controller (knob adjust) and I run 2 shocks per wheel. My wife has a bad back and she would not ride in my truck if the truck did not ride decent. I also like the adjustability feature on the shock because I can dial them in for different road / off-road conditions.
