Greg stated in another thread, called "some different shocks, not titan specific" [btw the bold font below is mine, not Greg's]:
"Ive had the M/Ts on during all the shock changes. I valve the Foxs to suit my taste, and they ride super plush but still dont bottom-out and the rebound is really fast which helps alot on really rough dirt roads, but can seem a bit "loose" when towing. The RSX are about the smoothest shock available, speed bumps seem to just about disappear and rough roads smooth out alot, there is a bit less big hit absorption, but they do a great job for the price and offer a very "american car" like ride. The bilstiens Im using are very good for towing and the street/hwy ride is very good, very positive feeling. Great for 4xing but maybe a little too comunicative for fast desert running (although ive done plenty). Actaully less harsh than the stock o/r shocks and better controll with heavy loads or towing. When I say "european" ride I guess the easiest way to describe is firm yet compliant. You can feel whats going on but its not harsh at all. Unlike a 77 Cady, where you are disconnected from the road. I hope that helps describe the differences a bit".
