From someone who used to work for a place that sells Monroe and has tried them out on various vehicles, The Reflexes are good shocks but are (IMHO) a bit on the stiff side. They are geared for tighter and more precise handling in SUVs and Light Trucks.

The sensa-tracs are a lot softer and are made for a smoother ride, but don't handle as nicely as the reflexes. Personally, I run the heavier duty Monroe gas charged that are geared for towing in the back of my Ram and really like them, however they are a bit on the stiffer side too. The front I haven't switched over from stock yet.

Out of the options listed, If you're looking for a nicer ride I'd lean toward the sensa-tracs.

 

I've got the SkyJacker hydro 7000's on mile and really like them good ride and handling. very little body roll. about $42.00 each.

 

Just to finish this and for FYI : the Monroe Reflexes are what I had on there and am taking off. I am going to try the Sens-tracs and see what they feel like. Like I said, with Monroe shocks : you have 90 days to decide. You can return them anytime within 30 days and get your money back.

 

WellI deal with shocks all day everyday and there are none better than Bilstein.

 

edelbrock IAS performers or Bilstein 5100's... have had them both and love them...

 

I prefer the Rancho RS9000X's or RS9000XL's. I have the XL's now, and really like them. Otherwise, i've never heard a bad thing about Bilsteins other then the price. If I had to choose between the two Monroes you mentioned, I'd go with the Reflex. I have never liked a soft shock on trucks that are this heavy (escpecially if you like to haul loads or tow).
