If you think your ride is stiff now wait until you put those 22's on it. I went from the stock 17's to the stock 20's. Although my truck handled alot better it also gave me a stiffer ride.

It rides fine, it's a truck it's not supposed to have a smooth ride. Seriously though, you haven't seen a rough ride, go and drive an HMMWV unloaded and see if you'll ever complain about your 1/2 ton having a rough ride.

Rides like a truck, brakes are better than other trucks, shocks suck though. No bangs or noises though, get that looked at.

I put Rancho 9000 shocks on my truck and love them. You can set pretty soft but I find them to be more controled when going over stuff then the stock units.
