Default what type of shocks? should i buy.....

well its about that time my truck feels like jell-o and when i load up the quad in the back and put bikes on the trailer and go out for the day she squats a lil and when i hit bumps she bounces too much well i dont want any lift its a 2wheel drive and i dont want drops and i want it too ride great but still have stability i do take it off road a little to get to my spot where we ride and its bumpy and well off road so i need some suggestions on shocks i want something good but still reasonably priced and maybe even some ideas to get them whos had experience with what and who....pls..........j

Don't actually have anything to contribute to this topic. Was just seeing if I could reply or not, I can reply to some threads but not others. Very weird website issues. Sorry for the post.[:-]

i have monroe sensatracs. i was told to get these because i used to do a lot of towing and these were a stiffer shock. they handle great when you have a load, but they are a little stiff and rough when the truck is empty. But hey, it's a truck, not a caddy; it's supposed to be rough.

I have monroe sensatracs and I love them. Very good ride and good load characteristics. They also last longer than they are rated for.
