Great on road and off-road performance.
Make sure the model you get is intended for your vehicles weight. Reports of a rough ride I find come from extremely light vehicles which these shocks were definitely not intended for road performance is excellent and not at all uncomfortable.

Better. Much better
I drive a 2017 RAM 3500 DRW HO with the Aisin. This particular stabilizer states that it is not designed to fit my truck. I thought I would give it a try anyways since the measurements and the mounting points were nearly the same as stock. I measured the extended length and collapsed length of the stock stabilizer while it was still mounted on the truck and came to the conclusion that this would fit. It did. I did have to shim the end that attached to the Synergy stabilizer bracket though; it was a bit too wide. I didn't want to spend the money on the dual stabilizer kits, especially because I would have to buy another Synergy stabilizer mount bracket to make it work. I am running the Synergy Drag Link and Synergy Tie Rod on the RAM and knew I would need to buy another bracket to clamp on the drivers side if I wanted to upgrade to a dual set up. So the $245 Bilstein dual kit instantly become $345 instead. I had heard some reviews both on Amazon and other online sources stating the single Nitrogen charged stabilizer caused a left hand "push" on the steering wheel. I was also worried about this since the truck already does a good job trying to push the truck to the left as it was; I didn't want to make that any worse. I am happy to report that I DO NOT notice any more "radial pull" then before....I think. I have not put enough miles on the new stabilizer yet to know for sure. I am going to give it an update at about the 2k mile point and let you know if it has effected any steering pull. The placebo effect has to be overcome after time and miles. I installed it last night and drove it to work on my normal route with no noticeable "pulling" difference. I will say that the damping ability over the stock stabilizer with over 91k miles on the truck is far superior. The same road that used to make my steering "bump" or "dip" seems to be better now. There seems to not be as much oscillation of the steering wheel when driving over dips in the road or on roads with lots of small bumps. I will say the increased dampening ability was well worth the purchase. I will have to drive it a few more miles, on a few different surfaces to know for sure about any change in "steering pull." Thanks for reading. **UPDATE** I have been driving with the new steering stabilizer for about 2K miles now. It makes a quite a bit of difference. Large expansion joints or run bumps don't seem to make the truck drift or get "loose" like before. I also notice less fatigue after long trips. I am putting less input into the steering wheel all the time. I don't have to try as hard to keep the truck in the lane, it seems to find center or straight much easier now. I am very glad I made the purchase.

Consistent, Smooth, and Good Value for the Money
Super smooth turning and dampens those hits and dips well. It doesn’t feel like a shock strapped to the front and it works consistently no matter the direction you turn. It was a simple install and took little time. The only struggle was messing with the dust boot to make sure it didn’t bunch up when turning, so make sure you run yours lock to lock and check the boot. Just slide it back on the shock body if it’s bunching. 1 year update: I have ran this on my RAM 2500 for a year now. The consistency and smoothness is still as good as the day I put it on. The only real problem I have had is it struggles to control and dampen larger bumps or hits. Hitting a pothole or train tracks hard can cause it to start steering you before it can catch up and dampen the rest of the hit. For the price and the fact that I have a solid axle truck, this problem is expected and I am still all for using this thing. If I was going to be on back roads more or doing harder off road, I would definitely switch to a more expensive dual system (as this stabilizer was most likely built for street applications).
