Bilstein Shocks

Have seen a few threads on here regarding after market shocks.
But not much around Bilsteins.
I have a 2004 GMC 2500 Full crew cab (6.0 litre) and I have bought Bilsteins to put on this vehicle.
I am in constant debate with my father and law..who is an old time mechanic...knows his business...but does not stay abreast of new technology. He insist that I will see no improvements with ride or handling with any new shock that I buy. He believes that because it is a 3/4 ton truck..and suspension is so heavy duty...it really does not matter what brand of shock I put on this vehicle...the ride will never improve.
Would like some feed back.

I think he is right. If anything the new shooks will make for a harser ride.
