If you want a factory ride go to dodge dealer and have them replaced. If you want performance KYB are very nice and durable. I have also heard good things about edelbrock.

While working at the proving grounds in Chelsea, I got to drive a lot of trucks before I bought mine, and they varied with all different loads in the bed. In my opinion, the 2500 rides the worst of all 3rd Gen Ram's. A 3500, 4x4 Dually rides better than 2500, 2WD. You ask "WHY?" I have no idea. But the only difference between the 2500 and 3500 to my knowledge is the rear springs. I know the 3500 has a 'helper' spring, not really sure if the 2500 does or not. Good luck at changing the ride of the 2500, but I don't think your gonna get what you want. One thing you could do is add some weight to the bed. That usually smooths out most rough riding trucks.
