The real fun is having a sleeper under the hood. You know, that rust bucket that is quiet but just tore a Camaro a new a**. Thats fun. The facial expression's are priceless.

So my durango is nearing 80,000 miles now, and her shocks are still the same old stock shocks.

what are you guys using for shocks on your durangos? I need some new ones. i can feel every bump on the road i swear.

I've seen some one use some rancho shocks and i think williwizard is using bilstien hd shocks?

Any good recomendations for good shocks at a good price? i'm lookin to replace all four of them

I replaced mine with AZ Gabriel Ultras. No problems with bumps anymore. I don't do any off-roading and maybe some slush/snow/ice driving. They've served me well.

For shocks on the front I have Monroe Reflex, and in the back I have Monroe Sensa-Trac load adjusting (with the coilover). On the front it rides perfect like I want it to, and in the back when I'm towing it's perfect, however a bit rough when not towing. What I like about the coilover is I can tow an extra 2,000# before the suspension in the back realizes I have weight on it.

They weren't too terribly expensive either, but I previously had Bilstein HD and it was a bit too rough riding and it felt weird when towing a trailer.

If you tow often I recommend what I have all day long.

If you decide on Rancho shocks, I can make you deal on the rear set. A few months back I accidentally ordered 4 identical shocks, thinking I was ordering a set( the front are not the same as the rear obviously). Anyhow, I wasn't able to return them since I bought them online(exchange only and I missed the timeframe). They are still in the box but one box was opened, that's when I realized I screwed up. They're just sitting in my garage taking up space.
Send me a PM if your interested.

Yeah, i do no towing. I'm looking for something with a nice smooth ride on the road and that somewhat decent when you do get off the road.

So far i'm hearing good things about the monroe shocks widow is talking about. and an offer on some rancho shocks for the rear?

samnbensdad how much would you want for the two of them?
