What's everyone running for shocks on the 2500s?
Even being the spring suspension, it still rides rough as hell.

I knew way before I bought my 2017 HD2500 it would be a rough riding SOB price you pay for a Tow Vehicle.
With that said, I, to this day, have no plans on upgrading the suspension with a lift or level.
My 17 comes with the Bilstein 4600s; when the time comes, I will upgrade to the 5100 series if still available.

Carli or Thuren springs and shocks.
Are about the only way to soften the ride.

I agree.
I have Thuren springs and coils.
We visited my mom and her husband for Thanksgiving, and he could stop commenting on how smooth the truck road was.
I have 35 mud tires with the Thuren suspension.
My mom and husband are in their mid to late 60s.

I have Bilstein 5100s all the way around with Bilstein leveling springs in the front with a Thuren adjustable track bar; I couldn't be happier with the set-up, 2016 2500.
Did you do the work yourself?
I have 5100s I am about to put on the front and am curious how much travel a bottle jack will need to get the front end off the ground.
When I installed my Fox 2.0 shock, I didn’t need to jack the truck off the ground.
See my post in the link below.

I switched from 5100s to Fox 2.0s with Carli tuning, and man, what a difference.
I’m about to get their sway bar; I’ve heard significant improvements, which mainly help with getting thrown left and right over bumps.
The sway bars a huge improvement on ride quality over stock.
I wanted the carli bar since I other wise have full Carli suspension but I went with Thurens bar because Carli was back ordered at the time.

I also have the Carli tuned fox 2.0 shocks, and now it floats over bumps like a dream boat!
When I switched my shocks out at 30k miles, the factory shocks were completely dead with no rebound whatsoever.
I literally undid the nuts and was able to push them right on down.
I think almost anything name brand will be an upgrade from stock, IMO.
