Red face suggestions on rotors and shocks

I have a 2002 durango r/t and its awd.Need to replace rotors and pads and looking to get something decent that will last but not too expensive. I'll be doing the work myself. The shocks are the original ones from factory and the ride is terrible. I tow a popup trailer thats maybe 3000lbs and sometimes a utility trailer 4x8 for hauling dirt and stone. I want something that won't diminish the towing capacity but want a smoother ride.Right now it rides like my old jeep.

If you want a smoother ride then maybe go Monroe.

REFLEX

Rear 911140

Or:

SENSA-TRAC

Rear 37140

i agree with the reflex recommendation, not so much the sensa-trac, they dont last quite as long in my experience, and are a good bit softer than the reflex too, and if you plan on putting any weight on the truck (towing hauling ect) go with the reflex, its what i got on my truck, and what my dad had on his dakota when he sold it
