After some fun in the dirt, James, Kevin, and Kersten took their trucks back onto the pavement. Undulations, windy roads, potholed streets and high-speed turns were all driven and evaluated. While the Carli and Lorenz trucks shined with their ride comfort, the KORE truck showed the most control and least amount of sway.
After six hours of testing, the drivers felt they had enough experience to draw some conclusions. Trucks were graded on a scale of 1 to 5 based on steering and ride capabilities, as well as ride comfort.

Kore Chase System With Fox Shocks
The KORE system shined on the undulation section of our test. The truck sailed over the undulations in a very controlled manner. The rear of the truck seemed to be the biggest factor as it minimized the "hop" on the undulations, even though we were traveling at about 50 mph. The KORE was the firmest ride of the group. Not sure if it is the springs or the Fox shocks that are making the difference, but there was definitely a noticeable difference. The freeway expansion joints and rough road bumps were controlled but did produce more jarring than the other systems. The cornering is very good on the KORE.
Lorenz System With Bilsteins
The Lorenz system did well in most situations. The ride between the Carli and Lorenz systems was very similar. They both handled the on-road portions very well and were softer (less jarring) than the KORE. The rides were soft but controlled. The Lorenz ride may have been even a bit softer than the Carli. The off-road section of our comparison was handled very well and gave confidence even as the speeds increased. Even though they handled the undulations respectably, there was more rear hop when compared to the KORE. The cornering on the Lorenz was a little bit soft - not quite as good as the KORE or Carli - but it may have more to do with the tires (D-rated) than the system.
Carli Starter System With Bilsteins
The Carli system also did well in most situations. Like I stated above, the ride is similar to the Lorenz. I would give a slight edge to the Lorenz in the ride department (a little bit more cushion), and the edge would go to Carli in cornering (again, it may have just been the difference in tires). Other than that, the systems performed almost identically.
In summary, all of the systems worked much better than stock. Any of them would be a great upgrade to a heavy-duty Ram truck. Your driving habits and style, and what you want from your suspension, will be the deciding factor in which one to choose.
KORE had one thing in mind when it created the Chase system: Drive it hard and fast. Definitely the most controlled ride and easiest to handle when the going got rough. | 
Undulations, also known as pavement whoops, were tamed by the KORE suspension. No wheel hop, even when we hit these at speeds in excess of 50 mph. | 
Off-road, the Lorenz truck is very smooth at moderate speeds - perfect for the driver who likes to drive the occasional dirt road and not feel every bump in the road. |

Kore Chase System With Fox Shocks
The Chase system is a great system for long-distance racing with the Fox Shocks and undulations over 5 inches (I believe that is what the speed bumps in the road were). It rides smoothly. It hugs whoops well. It is stiff for rough off-road dips and pothole-size ruts. The Chase system serves a purpose and is a good system. The two real drawbacks are KORE's pricing and stiff daily driving.
Lorenz System With Bilsteins
The Lorenz Bilstein 5100 suspension system is a great daily-driving and moderate off-road system. I feel it kept up good and has a similar ride and feel as the Carli Starter System. The one noticeable drawback is the rear hop or bounce on bigger undulations at higher speeds (50 mph) and certain lay of the rough/gravel roads as it fishtails a tad, but not out of control.
Note: The Fox shocks were cooler than the Bilstein shocks. After doing consecutive laps, the Bilsteins were scorching hot compared to the Fox shocks which were just hot to the touch.
