The PUMA beam is one of the better adjustable beams (I've had one for 15 years or so). Gas shocks for sure (KYB GR-2 for lowered beam). Depending on how you set-up the height, the ride is not too bad. Mine (was) set-up for cornering, but now I have dropped spindles and bigger sway bar (+16 inch wheels). I preloaded the torsion bars to give better cornering before. because, I didn't have a sway bar (don't ask). Now I have it set-up softer (just a little). To have the best ride using only a dropped beam, you just have to make sure the upper and lower torsions are set on the same setting. If you want it stiffer. Lock the bottom close to stock height, and put weight on front end then set the top to the height you want.
