Default Bilstein HD or Comfort ride???

I recently got 20's and the ride is a little "bumpier" just as I've read might happen with them. I'm doing a 2" shackle in the back to even the truck out and was thinking about some Bil's. Either the HD or Comfort ride. I'll be occassionally towing an 18' car hauler with a car, and want the smoothest ride possible. Leaning towards Comfort rides. Anybody have them? Thoughts/Opinions...

What is happening here is that you now need additional damping to control the heavier weight of the 20's. I would strongly recommend the HD shocks, as they will provide just this type of support.

Thanks. I've searched so much that I think my eyes are going to pop out of my head. I was pretty sure that's what I needed and saw that they offered the others and didn't know about them.

Thats Exactly right, Now the extra weight of the wheels is going to make the HD's seem like comfort ride. Did for me, I wish they had HD/HD...
