Default Shocks

Hey,
I am going to replace my rear shocks (old ones are shot). I read a couple posts and it seems that overall monroe was the most popular. I'm looking for a fairly inexpensive shock.
What I picked up (not installed) is just the monro-matic plus shock. These were around $30 each. Is it worth the extra money to go for the sensa-track or the reflex (I think they were around$50 and $60 locally). I haven't been able to find the difference between these 3 levels of shocks. Any input would be helpful.
My truck is just a daily driver so I want a comfortable ride. Dont do any towing, and not too much heavy lifting. Thanks in advance!

I tow, haul, and plow. I have the Monroe-matic shocks. No problems.

the ones you have are fine. expensive shocks are not better unless you get a Bilstein, which are super expensive.

Great thanks! That's exactly what I was wondering. Hopefully I'll have time to throw em on in the next couple days.

Thanks again!
