im looking to get some new shocks.. whats the best ones to get.. and cheap but not to cheap

 

I just got some Monroe Reflex's but haven't installed them yet. They are the same design as the Rancho RSX and both are made by the same company, Tenneco. I have an 07 Durango, and got them from RockAuto.com. Fronts were $37 and rears $39. Shipped to Canada with duty & taxes came to $202. Was planning on installing them today but it's raining so hopefully tomorrow. I'll chime back with the results but my stockers are shot so a bag of goo would be an improvement.

 

I'm not sure about that. I think there may be a thread about shocks here somewhere. Check the search.

If your driving is mainly on asphalt and not much offroading, I definitely recommend the Monroe Reflexes. That is what I am using on my R/T. I think it is the overall best shock for the money and warranty for mainly everyday driving and comfort. Handling is very firm but soft enough for those harsh bumps.

 

+1000000000000 i got the reflexes on my truck too

 

The Reflex's definitely firmed this up, particularly noticeable over tracks and bigger bumps. Shocks wear out slowly and you don't realize how much until you change them. The cylinder diameter is substantially larger than the stockers and the ride is slightly more firm than when the truck was new. Lifetime guarantee so for the price they are hard to beat.

 

Can't believe no one said it so here it goes:

Bilstein HD shocks

 

whenever you put shocks on a car or truck its gonna feel better.. so people will always talk up about the brand they put on, or the brand their daddies put on.. i like KYB's and their web site talks good about meeting your needs http://www.kyb.com/videos/index.php. In total honesty.. just about every new shock will do you really well, unless it has poor reviews..(let the other guys try it first)

 

Uhh... so Bils are good for the Durango you say? Really? Huh.

Maybe I need to search the forum and see what others had to say before this thread.

(instead of blindly answering it again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again as the lemmings above always tend to do)
