Those shocks won't do much to help the ride. I have them on the front only and they don't work worth a crap. I don't feel any difference in dampening at any setting at all.

Yeah those shocks and springs don't make a good combo from what the general consensus is, nor by the people who've tried different setups. Do a search on KYB's and you'll find a lot of opinions on them.
