they soak it up, but they don't let the truck roll like stock shocks do.
you feel more of the road when the performance is needed, but it won't
overload your senses in any drastic sense. the truck is MUCH more
responsive, and it is so much easier to drive now that it handles better.

i highly recommend these shocks... they are definitely worth the money. now
i just need to do the rear suspension.

Are the Reflexes harsh at all? What I mean is, do they jolt, or just
soak up everything equally, regardless of speed/size (to a point, I know
  really big/fast bumps will still hurt).
