Very little bouncing, mainly on really bad roads. Much less body roll in
the turns, and I immediately noticed almost a total elimination of nose dive
while braking. I'm very happy with them.

I guess I bought them because Summit adverstised them as Trailmaster's
"stiffest shock". In retrospect, any decent shock along with urethane
bushings should serve you well.
