No, the ride is not harsher. Yes, the body roll and brake diving are significantly reduced. The ride is solid now, more stable in corners, and a smoother suspension stroke up front. If anything, I would say that the stock t-bars are "harsher." Go figure. With the ride height I am at, the Fox shocks are fine. People who are running at 24.25 inches are stating that the Cognitos are an improvement over the "stock" shocks. Every time I think I am finished with my rig, there is always that one thing that I've always had my eye on. I went ahead and ordered the OEM off road lights for the roof. And, I swore I was never gonna get 'em.
